The 'other' significent son of a leader was Stalin's son. He was captured by the Germans during Operation 'Barbarosa ' (that was the German code name given for the German attack against the USSR) (blog.washingtonpost.com....oop_1.html)
Finnish Defense Force. Don't laugh - under Mannerheim they had a rathersuccessful &inter against a Soviet force with overwhelmingly superior numbers.(Of course, numbers told. They suffered enormous casualties and eventuallysigned a peace that gave Stalin about what he'd decided to take in the firstplace.) Finnish success encouraged Hitler to move up Operation Barbarosa (www.plexoft.com/SBF/F01.html)
I am looking for Dobrovolny family. My great grandparents were Jacob [or Jakob] Dobrovolny andAntonia Cerhan. They came to the USA in either 1912 or 1914 on the "Barbarosa ". That isbasically all the information i have. Jacob and Antonia lived in Prague but probably leftfrom Hamburg (www.iarelative.com....a1299b.htm)

As an aside, I always found it amusing that Frederick Barbarosa managed to unite the German tribes, captured Rome, and brokered the peace of Constance but drown in a river after he fell off his horse while wearing full armor (www.mexicanpictures.com....t/2005/04/)
This is an augmented television pilot, not advertised as being so, withanabrupt ending distressing to a viewer who might be so unfortunate as tostill be watching a production insulting to any with a modicum ofintelligence, due to a storyline that makes no pretense at logic, ratherinstead stringing together a structure of episodes each more foolish thanthat preceding, with essentially no sense of continuity. It would seemthatthe primary purpose of this affair is to demonstrate the costumingtalentsof Michael Boyd, whose work is often very effective, but here onlygrotesque, as surely never were denizens of the Old West so brightlyraimented in such an array of heterogeneous colours, with all garmentsseemingly impervious to even a scantling of soil. Director Peter Werner ( We Were The Mulvaneys and scriptor William Witliff Country Barbarosa are accomplished craftsmen and it is difficult to acceptthisclichéd and terminally stupid composition as handiwork from either, apossible explanation being preparation and production interference forwhatpurportedly became a popular television series based upon the leadcharacterfrom this film, Ned Blessing (Stephen Baldwin (us.imdb.com/title/tt0104977/)
Its actually been argued, quite convincingly, that Barbarosa was doomed from the start as much by the mobilization capacity of the Red Army as by the irrationality of Hitler. The comparison fails miserably on that score, even if the end result is the same: a large army, bogged down in increasingly hostile territory and dependent upon a narrow, vulnerable logistic train (www.haloscan.com....270431193/)
Third, the PNAC are a collection of Irovy Tower theorists who see war as just a big game of "Risk". We have to take them seriously because the gang of fools, fops, and profiteers on the Hill and in the White House take them seriously. But their plans are no more likely to come to pass than Operation Barbarosa had a chance of succeeding after the winter of 1941 (www.haloscan.com....754455416/)
For some reason all this talk of the conclave electing a new pope has reminded me of a book I read in high school. Set in the time of Frederick Barbarosa the Holy Roman Emperor when there were rival popes, it follows a group of Robber Knights (unlanded German knights, who preyed on merchant travelers) on an adventure north where they encounter a group of Asian barbarians. The thing about the book that struck me is that these Robber Knights all thought of themselves as ruthless characters (they would often leave merchants nude and penniless by the side of the road), but the barbarians were infinitely more cruel. They would castrate their enemies and leave them nailed to a tree by their tongues. There is this great shift in the book as the hunters become the hunted . Anyway I don't remember the title, so it's neither here nor there (www.mexicanpictures.com....t/2005/04/)
