Gau Saxony
The Gau Saxony () was an administrative division of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945 in the German state of Saxony. Before that, from 1925 to 1933, it was the regional subdivision of the Nazi Party in that area. History The Nazi Gau (plural Gaue) system was originally established in a party conference on 22 May 1926, in order to improve administration of the party structure. From 1933 onward, after the Nazi seizure of power, the ''Gaue'' increasingly replaced the German states as administrative subdivisions in Germany. At the head of each Gau stood a Gauleiter, a position which became increasingly more powerful, especially after the outbreak of the Second World War, with little interference from above. Local Gauleiters often held government positions as well as party ones and were in charge of, among other things, propaganda and surveillance and, from September 1944 onward, the Volkssturm and the defense of the Gau. Gau Saxony was established on 16 May 1926 by the merger of Gau S ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Forward (association Football)
In the sport of association football, a forward (attacker or striker) is an Glossary of association football terms#O, outfield position which primarily plays further up the pitch than Midfielder, midfielders and Defender (association football), defenders. As with any attacking player, the role of the forward relies heavily on being able to create space for attack. Their advanced position and limited defensive responsibilities mean forwards normally score more goals on behalf of their team than other players. Attacking positions generally favour direct players who take on the defense of the opponent in order to create scoring chances, where they benefit from a lack of predictability in attacking play. Formation (association football), Modern team formations normally include one to three forwards. For example, the common Formation (association football)#4–2–3–1, 4–2–3–1 includes one forward. Less conventional formations may include more than three forwards, or sometimes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
