Here are the information about this response. There are 2 options, u can pick one to write. 250-350 words, due Sunday 11:59 am. plz send me on time. 

Option #1:  Neufeld on Blitzkrieg Economy

 Please read: 

Michael J. Neufeld, “Hitler, the V-2, and the Battle for Priority, 1939-1943,” The Journal of Military History, Vol. 57, No. 3 (Jul., 1993), pp. 511-538; Available in the Readings Folder and on JSTOR at: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2943990

  And discuss:

1) How does Neufeld’s argument challenge the accepted story of the German ‘Blitzkrieg Economy,’ and how does it relate to  Misa’s portrayal of ‘technological innovation’ during WWII?

 

Option #2:   Sigal on the decision to drop the bomb.

  Please read: 

Leon V. Sigal, “Bureaucratic Politics & Tactical Use of Committees: The Interim Committee & the Decision to Drop the Atomic Bomb,’ Polity, Vol. 10, No. 3 (Spring, 1978), pp. 326-364; Available in the Readings Folder and on JSTOR at: http://www.jstor.org/stable/3234412

 And discuss: 

 

Sigal offers a new assessment of the reasons behind the use of the atomic bombs at the end of WWII.  How does this compare to the story of the ‘logic of war’ in Misa’s account and the film The Day after Trinity?
