AbstractThe Second World War in Albania was a central topic of socialist historiography because of the importance laid upon the National Liberation War for the legitimation of the establishment of communist rule in 1944. History writing was a very centralized process, controlled by party institutions responsible for safeguarding the implementation of Marxist‒Leninist principles and party lines. Since the 1990s, the history of the Second World War has been revised in the framework of a general revision of Albanian national history. History writing developed as an open process and now included historians from countries other than Albania, as opposed to the previous state socialist isolation. The extent to which the war history had been distorted and manipulated during socialism has influenced the subsequent process of rewriting that first focused on adjusting the existing narratives. Thus, despite an increasing variety of research topics, the historiography on wartime Albania has remained dominated by political and military history, and by the national master narrative.

В статье обсуждается произрастание центрально-европейских видов растений на месте расположения немецких войск на территории Калужской области (растения-полемохоры). Наибольшее число растений-полемохоров в регионе отмечено на трех участках - всего зарегистрировано 32 вида, по 18 видов на каждом. Описаны особенности военной истории и современное состояние для каждого из участков. Для каждого полемохорного вида приведено обилие и приуроченность к немецким укреплениям на изученной территории, распространение в области и в Средней России Совпадение состава видов в разных точках дислокации немецких войск, и отсутствии их на остальной территории области подтверждает их общее происхождение. Here we discuss the occurrence of Central European plants at the Second World War German troops' locations in the Kaluga Region (polemochore plants). The largest number of polemochore plants in the Region was recorded at three sites. There we found 32 species with 18 species on each. For each polemochore species, we give the abundance and proximity to German fortifications, as well as the distribution in the Kaluga Region and in Central Russia. The coincidence of the species composition in different locations of German troops and their absence in the rest of the Region confirms their polemochoral origin

AbstractIn 2013, a group of British aviation archaeologists began excavating in Myanmar in search of some 140 mint-condition crated Royal Air Force (RAF) Spitfire Mk XIV aircraft. According to their story, at the end of the Second World War, Allied forces in Burma were left with these unassembled aircraft. Without the funds to send them home, but unwilling to let the planes fall into enemy hands, they buried the crated planes in Mingaladon, Meiktila and Myitkyina. Like legends of pirate treasure, the story of these buried Spitfires carries with it fantastic aura and intrigue. For aviation fans, the pirate's gold is an iconic aircraft, meaningful in patriotic narratives for its role in the Battle of Britain. This paper will discuss this story as a form of military history folklore which is stoked by the orientalist perception that Burma/Myanmar's decades of military regimes and purported isolation indirectly ‘“preserved” the crated aircraft in time. As this paper will demonstrate, Burmese and others in Southeast Asia have their own legends of buried war materiel and treasure. This point, though largely lost on British aviation enthusiasts in their quest for their Spitfire ‘holy grail’, nevertheless crucially enabled their quest to manifest itself.

The Soviet-Japanese war of 1945 is an important part of the Second World war, a heroic page in the military history of Russia. The Manchurian strategic operation of August, 1945 is actively studied in Russian and world historical science and considerable number of historical sources and memoirs are published. However, the theoretical and geopolitical aspect of the Soviet-Japanese war requires additional research. The place of war in national and world history, the causes and consequences of hostilities, and diplomatic history need further understanding and generalization. The article focuses on controversial issues in the study of the Soviet-Japanese war of 1945.

Potential Use

Abstract Historical spatial theories have rarely been used in operational military history. However, they can offer a fertile approach to provide a theoretical framework in operational history. This article shows the potential use of spatial theories and spatial terms in operational history by analysing urban warfare and its perception in the German army during the Second World War. Taking the battle of Stalingrad as a case study, special emphasis is given to physical and social-organisational spatial concepts.
