Click on the logo to visit www.taskforcebaum.de, the Task Force Baum site, covering the Hammelburg Raid and Task Force Baum

LTC Peter Domes has spent three years doing extensive research on the Raid, verifying and correcting documents, interviewing participants and survivors and retracing the route of Task Force Baum from Aschaffenburg to Hammelburg.

This site includes photos, maps, details of the participating forces as well as the story of the Raid itself. Anyone with an interest in the Hammelburg Raid, the end of the war in Europe or small unit tactics will find this to be an excellent site.

In the calendar of fanaticism, this was Year Zero; as many as two million people, a fifth of Cambodia's population, were to die as a consequence.

By contrast, Kofi Annan and Bill Clinton were only able to allow the murders of one million in Rwanda.

The pair issued a joint apology, Clinton adding, "I've never worked harder in my life, and now I've got to get back to my little grass shack and the girl just like the girl who married or at least was acquainted for a time with dear old dad.

In the Annan addendum, the Secretary General from the Republic of Israeldelendaest issued a stern condemnation of the recent rotisserie of Rocco "Rocky the Frying Squirrel" Rontissi. "Israel must stop killing or the Peace Process cannot succeed." Annan was of course referring to the Hamas charter which calls for all Israelis to be peacefully dead.
