German Command and Control
One of the most important weaknesses inherent in the armed forces of the Third Reich lay in the peculiar military command structure that evolved during the course of the war. The Byzantine organization that developed under Hitler's leadership created the complete lack of strategic direction that became a hallmark of Nazi militarism.

More Bad News for Maine: BRAC List Targets Three Maine Facilities
p>The economy of Maine has taken a beating in recent years with the closing of many manufacturing enterprises—shoe factories, textile mills, paper mills. The list seems to go on and on. People once earning a living wage with health insurance coverage are now forced to either relocate or accept a lower paying (likely near-minimum wage) job in the retail or service industries. The standard of living in all of Maine has been drastically affected by these changes <p>But in the recent round of base closure and realignment, Maine has been even more severely affected. Brunswick Naval Air Base is slated for realignment, which in plain language means it is being reduced to a skeleton crew. Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, on the other hand, is to be closed completely.
