Abstract
This paper will discuss the book "Hitler's Italian Allies" by Knox MacGregor, and seek to understand the bonds that existed between these two countries in their struggle to dominate the world. By realizing the way that MacGregor approaches this topic, it is obvious that the connection in the two fascist regimes was clearly a unified problem in the western world during the Second World War.

Abstract
This paper examines the motivations behind Hitler's choices about the nations and governments that Nazi Germany should aligned itself. This paper discusses specifically his motivations for aligning himself with Japan, Italy, and with Grand Mufti Amin al-Hussein. The paper also discusses how his propaganda machine explained and justified these alliances to the German people.

From the Paper
"Adolf Hitler assumed power in Germany in 1933. One of his first acts as Fuhrer was to create two propaganda teams and they in-turn destroyed the free press in their wake. The mission of the Nazi press was to convey Hitler's will in editorials and to print only the Nazi point-of-view on foreign events. Propaganda was defined by Edward Bernays as the "standardized code of social conduct". In the case of Germany using allies of convenience, rather than conviction, the Nazi party used propaganda to alter their standardized code of political conduct. Hitler continually changed allies and ally agreements while using an "us vs. them" mentality, which just made it harder to know who was an "us" and who was a "them", so that it seemed even when Germany had allies, all they really had were fellow Germans. The main proof for Hitler having allies of convenience, instead of conviction, is that he made great use of the phrase: the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the success of the allies in World War II hinged on the defeat of its two greatest opposing forces. The key to success relied upon debilitating and disabling the German army and the Japanese army. The paper shows how the weakening of the German army at the Battle of Kursk and the weakening of the Japanese army at the Battle of Midway were two of the key battles responsible for turning the tides to the Allied forces' favor in World War II. The similarities and differences of these two decisive battles are the focus of the research.

From the Paper
"It can be said that just because one loses the battle, it doesn't mean that they have lost the war. In most cases this is true. However, one battle can mean a such defeat for one side that it changes the entire course of the rest of the war. This was the case in the Battle of Midway. The Battle of Midway took place from June 4-7, 1942. Prior to the Battle of Midway, Japanese forces were on the offensive capturing and securing massive territories throughout the Pacific Rim and Asia (NHC, 2002). Midway Island lies in the middle of the Pacific Ocean half way between the United States and Japan. It is a key refueling and strategic supply point for long runs across the Pacific Ocean. Control of Midway Island was a key factor to the offensive position of the Japanese. It was also important defensively as a key to preventing the Japanese invasion of Hawaii."

Abstract
The paper argues that the Allies' victory in the Second World War in Europe was due to a lack of preparation in the German military, industry and economy, American industrial and economic might and Russian military and industrial transformations.

From the Paper
"Germany's industry, economy and military were prepared neither for a long war nor a war fought over vast distances. At the outbreak of the war, Germany's industry was far from being what could be considered one of total-war. It is hard to calculate with any precision the level of military production Germany could have fielded at the start of the war. However, the fact that between 1941 and 1944 Germanys tripled its production of tanks and aircraft indicates that Germany was not making full military use of its industry. Indeed Britain, being smaller but more efficient, was able to produce more arms than Germany in almost every category up until 1943. Further evidence of German industry's lack of preparation comes with that fact that it was not until 1943 that Hitler ordered the country to transform into a state of total-war. (milward, german economy, p.106). Although the German military was prepared for a short blitzkrieg-like war it was unsuited to the long-rand and drawn-out war that the Second World War became."

Abstract
This paper presents a report to Assistant Secretary of War, John J. McCloy with the aim of evaluating options and recommendation regarding the proposed bombing of Auschwitz. The paper discusses the implications of the discovery of Auschwitz, the Nazi death camp in Southern Poland, and devises three possible courses of action and recommendations of the optimal resolution for the situation.

Table of Contents:
Executive Summary
Option I: Use Conventional Bombing: Target Gas Chambers and Crematorium
Option II: Use Dive-Bombing: Target Gas Chambers and Crematorium
Recommendation: Do not Engage in Bombing Auschwitz

From the Paper
"The decision not to bomb Auschwitz will have obvious backlash throughout the free world because by not bombing it seems as though the Allies do not value the lives of the prisoners at Auschwitz enough. Large backlashes can be expected from the Jewish community especially . To make amends the Allies must seek a swift liberation of death camps like Auschwitz, a decisive defeat of the German War Machine, and a post-war world without Nazi ideologies.
"The recommendation of this advisory board is to halt plans of bombing Auschwitz and instead reroute resources and manpower in a way that ensures the fastest possible defeat of the Germany."

Abstract
This paper looks at the assistance of the Navajo Code Talkers in World War II. It documents how the Navajo language was used for communicating in secret code, thereby stumping the Japanese.

From the Paper
"On the morning of February 23, 1945, a foreign language crackled over filed radios across Iwo Jima: "Naastsosi Thanzie Dibeh Shida Dahnestsa Tkin Wollachee Moasi Lin Achi." Intercepted and flawlessly translated by Marine cryptographers, the word went out: The Stars and stripe flew over Mount Suribachi. It has been said by high military officials that the Marines would not have taken Iwo Jima without the aid of this specialized team of cryptographers. In one of the most ironic twists in American history, the Navajo Nation came to the aid of the American government that had tried to eradicate it just two generations before. Many of the Pacific battles won by the U.S. in WWII owed their victories to the 420 Navajo who would come to be known as the Code Talkers."

Abstract
This paper looks at the legal liability of physicians and allied healthcare workers, emphasizing what it means to their practice. It also discusses the effect of managed care on allied healthcare workers. The paper comes out in favor of the workers being in situations that decrease the possibility of error, such as shorter hours.

From the Paper
"A pharmacist might be held liable for negligence if they dispensed the wrong medication to a patient or the wrong dosage of a medication. Studies show that many more of these types of mistakes are being made because pharmacists are required to work long hours. (Jaret) Massachusetts pharmacists for instance are believed to fill ... million prescriptions inappropriately each year. More than ... Americans die each year as a result of adverse drug reactions. The way to avoid such mistakes is to limit the number of hours a pharmacist..."

Abstract
This paper first relates that historians are unable to explain Hitler's failure to finish off the remaining British Expeditionary Force (BEF) during the his early wehrmacht of Europe and consider this hesitation to be one of the mistakes that allowed the eventual Allied victory. Next, the author describes Operation Overlord, the landing on Normandy. This paper underscores that, although Operation Overlord was a tremendous success, the Allied armies suffer 100,000 casualties just in the next six weeks in the breakout from Normandy into Nazi-occupied France and the intense battles that followed across Europe for nearly another full year were equally important to the eventual liberation of Europe in 1945.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"As preparations neared combat readiness for Operation Overlord, Allied counterintelligence units even went so far as to float the corpse of a soldier outfitted in a high-ranking uniform and equipped with fabricated plans for an invasion of the Calais, in many way, the most logical invasion point because of its geographical proximity to the
English coast. Likewise, American aircraft steadily increased their
bombardment of Calais to simulate pre-invasion operations in preparation for the actual landings planned for June 4, 1940. Severe weather required a postponement to June 6th."

Abstract
This proposal provides tentative source material for a larger paper aimed at answering the question of whether or not Canada was a loyal ally to the US during the Cold War - especially during the first 30 or so years of the conflict. The paper highlights the fears of Canadian leaders about losing sovereignty and also captures the willingness of Canadian decision-makers to diverge from the US lead. The paper shows how Canada was a fairly loyal ally - but one determined to carve its own path.

From the Paper
"Part I: Historical Significance, major historiographical debates, and main argument of paper. The historical significance of this issue should be obvious. Firstly, if we are to understand the current nature of the Canada/US relationship, we must understand that relationship against the backdrop of history; in other words, how has the Canada/US relationship been throughout the course of the "modern" age? Further, given as Russia has indicated a renewed willingness to return to the suspicious days of the Cold War, knowing the..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the character Ally McBeal and the plot of the show pointing out some unusual behaviors such as hallucinating. The author states that, according to Freud, McBeal's character is suffering from suppressed memories, and the need for sex and marriage is in her unconscious. The author states that according to Karen Horney, McBeal's character depicts a prenatal stage.

From the Paper
"McBeal is a smart, pretty woman who followed her high-school boyfriend, Billy Thomas, to Harvard Law school, where he dumped her to pursue his own career, leaving McBeal pining for him. Now, McBeal joins a prominent Boston Law firm, where she is stunned to discover that the true love of her life, Billy, is also on the payroll. There are plenty of emotional issues to deal with and things get complicated when Billy's wife, Georgia, confronts McBeal. We soon learn that McBeal is an emotional wreck and we are allowed to see all of her fears acted out in peculiar fantasy segments."
