The government needs armed forces, first of all, to keep their subjects in oppression and to be able to enjoy the fruits of their labor. But there also are other governments, exploiting their subjects by violence in the same way. And so every government needs an army also to protect its booty from its neighbor bandits. And every increase in the army of one state, with the aim of self-defence against its subjects, becomes a source of danger for neighboring states and calls for a similar increase in their armies.

1. As a right wing putsch which lasted several weeks until defeated by a general strike, the KP encouraged right wing extremists such as Hitler and the newly formed Nazi party to attempt further uprisings, such as Hitler's Munich Putsch in Nov 1923. 2. The KP showed the weakness of the Weimar Republic since the government had relied on right wing forces (Freikorps and army) to put down the Communist Spartacist revolt (Dec 1918 to Jan 1919). Now threatened by the Right in the KP the government was saved only by a general strike of workers which forced Kapp to give up. The effect on Germany was to intensify the divisions between Left wing and Right wing forces which contributed to the weakness of the early years of the Weimar Republic.

AW 107 refers to the Articles of War number 107. It was under this authority that a service man was honorably discharged from the army/navy/etc during or after WW2. AW 107 authorized the the issue and wear of a lapel pin to be worn for up to 30 days on his uniform and then later on his civilian clothes signifying his honorable discharge. This pin later became known as the "ruptured duck." The pin was first issued in a metal version, but because of material shortages it was later issued in gilded plastic and a cloth version. Answer I think AW107 has to do with AWOL and not authority to issue an Honorable Discharge and wear a ruptured duck. Answer I am looking at two Army Separation Documents WD/AGO Form 53-55. On each it has a remarks block. On each it has entry: "Time Lost Under AW 107: __ days". I think AW107 is Article of War covering Absence Without Official Leave. Answer I can't believe how many web pages contain "Articles of War". I quickly found the original British version from 1749 and US version of 1806, but Article 107 was a much later addition. "ART. 107. SOLDIERS TO MAKE GOOD TIME LOST. Every soldier who deserts the service of the United States, or who without proper authority absents himself from his organization, station, or duty for more than one day, or who is confined for more than one day under sentence, or while awaiting trial and disposition of his case, if the trial results in conviction, or who through the intemperate use of drugs or alcoholic liquor, or through disease the result of his own misconduct, renders himself unable for more than one day to perform duty shall be liable to serve, after his return to a full duty status, for such period as shall, with the time he may have served prior to such desertion, unauthorized absence, confinement, or inability to perform duty, amount to the full term to his enlistment." So, if your grandpa wasn't court-martialed (which would certainly be noted in his discharge papers), he probably partied a bit too much and over-stayed his leave or came back too drunk for duty. All Hat No Horse Answer My Dad also has the "1 Day Lost Under AW 107" noted on his separation papers. I remember him saying that he and a buddy got drunk, passed out and missed the bus back to camp one night. He said that they busted him back to PFC and gave him KP duty for awhile. We have a picture of him peeling potatoes. I would go with the AWOL and unable to perform duties as being the cause of AW 107.
Finland was an early victim of the massive Soviet aggression that preceded the major combat operations of WWII. Like just about every other nation that had geographical contact with Russia, Finland was attacked and bludgeoned into submission. As with other Soviet aggressions, this was essentially ignored by the western powers. Naturally, several of these various victims of Soviet attack were willing to ally to Germany when Germany attacked the Soviets in June 1941. Finland's army fought bravely against the Soviets, being led by the world class general, Mannerheim. (aside: Finland was a 'possession' of the Czarist Russian empire until 1918. When Germany defeated Russia near the end of WWI, Germany was able to demand Finland's independence.) Ultimately the Soviets overwhelmed the Finnish forces and in 1944 Finland asked for an armistice. Surprisingly, the Soviets gave the Finns a relatively respectable peace agreement. Instead of occupying the entire country and ravaging it for years, the Soviets contented themselves with various 'pickin's' including the taking of the only Finnish outlet to the Arctic Sea, a major military base on Finlands Baltic coast, a big slice of eastern Finish territory, and various other arrangements that basically made Finland indefensible from attack. Following the war, the term Finlandization came into being. This term was meant to describe a situation where a major power does not wholesale occupy a smaller nation, but instead destroys it politically and militarily to the point where it is a weak vassal state unable to defend itself or resist further aggression.
