Synopsis Standing Fast by : Timothy Allen Wray

In this Research Survey, Major Timothy A. Wray provides an excellent survey of the intricacies of employing defensive tactics against a powerful opponent. Using after-action reports, unit war diaries, and other primary materials, Major Wray analyzes the doctrine and tactics that the Germans used on the Eastern Front during World War II.At the end of World War I, the Germans adopted the elastic defense in depth and continued to use it as their basic doctrine through the end of World War II. However, because of limitations caused by difficult terrain, severe weather, manpower and supply shortages, Soviet tactics, and Hitler's order to stand fast, German commanders were unable to implement the Elastic Defense in its true form. Even so, innovative and resourceful unit commanders were able to adapt to the harsh realities of combat and improvise defensive methods that saved the German armies from complete annihilation.

Synopsis Standing Fast in Christ by : Shirley T. Woodruff

To be faithful in our walk with Christ requires that we "Stand Fast" in the truths from God's Word, His strength and the joy that is ours as a child of God yet ever going forward for His glory. With my study of the book of Galatians I pray that I have been able to convey the realities of God's love promises for His child. It is my desire that the seeds of these truths be spread out to the younger generation and be nurtured by one who cares for their souls.

Synopsis Standing Fast: German Defensive Doctrine on the Russian Front During World War II — Prewar to March 1943 by : Major Timothy A. Wray

Includes over 50 maps plans and illustrations. In this Research Survey, Major Timothy A. Wray provides an excellent survey of the intricacies of employing defensive tactics against a powerful opponent. Using after-action reports, unit war diaries, and other primary materials, Major Wray analyzes the doctrine and tactics that the Germans used on the Eastern Front during World War II. At the end of World War I, the Germans adopted the elastic defense in depth and continued to use it as their basic doctrine through the end of World War II. However, because of limitations caused by difficult terrain, severe weather, manpower and supply shortages, Soviet tactics, and Hitler’s order to stand fast, German commanders were unable to implement the Elastic Defense in its true form. Even so, innovative and resourceful unit commanders were able to adapt to the harsh realities of combat and improvise defensive methods that saved the German armies from complete annihilation. U.S. Army unit commanders on the future battlefield, while battling a motivated and aggressive force, will also face hard battlefield conditions. Therefore, these commanders, in applying the AirLand Battle tenets of initiative, depth, agility, and synchronization, will have to demonstrate the same type of innovativeness and resourcefulness as the Germans did in Russia. To operate on the AirLand Battlefield, U.S. soldiers must depend on sound doctrine and the ability to execute it intelligently. All Army officers will benefit from Major Wray’s new and vital assessment of how German doctrine was modified by the test of war.

Synopsis Standing Fast by : Karen Nappa

She never thought trusting him with her body would give him access to her most guarded body part—her heart. Welcome back to Peaceful, where danger spikes to new heights. Sapphira is a hard-core masochist who craves pain more than sexual release. She doesn’t let men in her life, let alone her home, and now Master B has been there twice. The first time, the intensity of his scene pushed her so far into subspace, released way too many emotions… she didn’t dare let down her guard a second time. Not with anyone. But that was before everything went to hell, and now, not only is he back in her home… but he might just be in her heart. Author's note: Standing Fast is the third installment in the Quinn Quartet. Although the book contains a complete romance story with HEA, we recommend reading the books in order—starting with Delving Deep. Standing Fast mentions child abuse and although it’s in the past, this might trigger memories. It also contains disturbing and harmful coping mechanisms to deal with the past. Reader discretion is advised.
