This history of the division starts before the war in England, and goes on to describe operations in France in 1940.

Описание: Today we are experiencing global average sea levels rising by 3.4mm (0.13 inches) per annum - climate.nasa.gov. However, nearly 13,000 years ago an event occurred which caused sea levels to rise rapidly, maybe by 10m in a decade (1,000mm per annum), and certainly over a period of c1150 years by an average of around 17.5mm per annum. The event was the impact of a meteorite on the Hiawatha Glacier in north west Greenland which triggered a climatic phase named the Younger Dryas period. The impact event is dated to 10765BC (+/-50 years). The memory of rising sea levels, initially rising very rapidly as millions of cubic kilometres of ice were vaporised and the influx of fresh water disrupted sea currents, has come down to us in numerous legends - some 500 have been enumerated. The most famous being Noah and the story upon which Noah was based - the Sumerian hero, Utnapishtim.
Conventional historians view human societies 13,000 years ago as simple hunter gatherers - no farming had started, therefore there was no surplus food to support other activities and therefore no urban societies. However, as examined in this book, there is surprising evidence of sophisticated human knowledge and settlements dating from prior to the Hiawatha impact and much to indicate some scattered survivors of the event. When this evidence is fully evaluated, conventional history will require radical rewriting.

Описание:
June 14, 1903, was a typical, hot Sunday in Heppner, a small farm town in northeastern Oregon. People went to church, ate dinner, and relaxed with family and friends. But late that afternoon, calamity struck when a violent thunderstorm brought heavy rain and hail to the mountains and bare hills south of town. When the fierce downpour reached Heppner, people gathered their children and hurried inside. Most everyone closed their doors and windows against the racket.
The thunder and pounding hail masked the sound of something they likely could not have imagined: a roaring, two-story wall of water raging toward town. Within an hour, one of every five people in the prosperous town of 1,300 would lose their lives as the floodwaters pulled apart and carried away nearly everything in their path. The center of town was devastated. Enormous drifts of debris, tangled around bodies, snaked down the valley. The telegraph was down, the railroads were out, and the mayor was in Portland.
Stunned survivors bent immediately to the dreadful tasks of searching for loved ones and carrying bodies to a makeshift morgue in the bank. By the next afternoon, thousands of individuals and communities had rushed to the town's aid, an outpouring of generosity that enabled the self-reliant citizens of Heppner to undertake the town's recovery.
In Calamity, Joann Green Byrd, a native of eastern Oregon, carefully documents this poignant story, illustrating that even the smallest acts have consequences - good or bad. She draws on a wealth of primary sources, including a moving collection of photographs, to paint a rare picture of how a small town in the West coped with disaster at the turn of the twentieth century.
