Question: 785 Divide and Drool

__X__ was a special Military Intelligence service of the Argentine Army whose structure was set up in the late 1970s, active in the Dirty War and Operation Condor, and disbanded in 2000. Its personnel collected information on and infiltrated Guerrilla groups and Human RIghts organisations, and coordinated killings, kidnappings and other abuses.


The Peruvian government is known to have collaborated with members of the group in the kidnapping, torture and disappearance of a group of Montoneros living in exile in Lima in June 1980.


On 1 January 2010, President Cristina Fernandez of Argentina ordered that documents pertaining to __X__be declassified.


The __X__ reported directly to __Y__, who was, at that time, the President of Argentina.

In April 1982, after __Y__ had been in office for four months and with his popularity low, Argentine forces invaded the lightly defended__Z___, administered by the UK and a long-standing Argentine territorial claim.

 In Argentina the invasion was enormously popular, and the anti-junta demonstrations were replaced by patriotic demonstrations in support of __Y__.

__Y__, and most of his government, thought that the United Kingdom would never respond militarily and even in the worst case scenario the United States would not interfere after the support given by the Junta to the CIA in its exploits in Nicaragua. However, after diplomatic pressure and negotiations led nowhere, the UK government, led by the Margaret Thatcher, decided to re-take __Z__, and deployed naval task forces to do so. Despite the numerical and geographic advantages held by Argentina, the superior training and technology of the British armed forces ensured British victory in the _Z__ within two months


Id X, Y and Z.

Question 766: A 'Crooshing' defeat

A recently declassified document of the US Navy.
What does it show?

Question 706: You too?

n the late 1920s, a young Wernher von Braun acquired a copy of Hermann Oberth's book, Die Rakete zu den Planetenräumen (The Rocket into Interplanetary Space). Starting in 1930, he attended the TU Berlin, where he assisted Oberth in liquid-fueled rocket motor tests. Von Braun was working on his creative doctorate when the Nazi Party gained power in Germany. An artillery captain, W. Dornberger arranged an Ordnance Department research grant for von Braun, who from then on worked next to Dornberger's existing solid-fuel rocket test site at Kummersdorf Von Braun's thesis, Construction, Theoretical, and Experimental Solution to the Problem of the Liquid Propellant Rocket (dated 16 April 1934), was kept classified by the German army and was not published until 1960. By the end of 1934, his group had successfully launched two rockets that reached heights of 2.2 and 3.5 km

At the time, Germany was highly interested in American physicist Robert Goddard's research. Before 1939, German scientists occasionally contacted Goddard directly with technical questions. Von Braun used Goddard's plans from various journals and incorporated them into the building of the___________

Following successes at Kummersdorf with the first two _______, von Braun and Walter Riedel began thinking of a much larger rocket in the summer of 1936, based on a projected 25-metric-ton-thrust engine..

And this was __X___

ID X and the blank.

Question 693: Glorified Tubelights aren't they?

The following is a description of the choreography behind the use of __X__ in __Y__

I developed different styles for the characters, and gave each of them a flaw or a bonus. So with ___ for instance, he's got a very business-like style — when he was younger he could border on the flashy and might twirl his __X__ a bit, because he was taught by Qui-Gon. Qui-Gon was brash, that rubbed off on ____ and ____ then taught _____, who was way too old to learn anyway... I think the style really worked well. The ___Z____ style of fighting is an amalgamation of all the great sword fighting styles. Melding them together is the difficult part — to move from a Kendo style to, say, Rapier requires a complete change in body and feet movement, and this must look effortless. The style moves seamlessly between the different disciplines, but remains technically correct throughout. It's unlike any other style of fighting and I think it's beautiful to watch.

SO ID X & Y
(Z & ___ for #brownie points)
