How many Bandsmen won the Medal of Honor in the Civil War?
By my count it was 20. There was one with the rank of Principal Musician and ten with the rank of Musician. Four held the of Drummer, four held the rank of Chief Bugler and one held the rank of Bugler. Among the other interesting footnotes of the 1,522 medal awarded in the Civil War is that the first and only woman was so decorated, one chaplain, a civilian scout, a farrier, a ship's steward, 2 surgeons and six assistant surgeons were so decorated. Only 32 of these awards were posthumous compared 154 of the 245 awards in the Vietnam Conflict. In any case musicians did better in the Civil War then the Marines, by a score of 20 to 17. ************************** A bandsmen is not a Fifer, Drummer, nor a Bugler. Any or all could be mustered in the rank of Musician (most were). Most regimental bands were sent home in April 1862. During combat, bandsmen and drummers usually helped out with the battle casualties....whilst Fifers were usually runners. Buglers were the FM Walkie Talkie's or Cell Phones of their time.

Why did Hitler decide to invade russia?
Hitler spoke of the inevitable battle of philosophies (fascism vs. communism) and races (Germanic vs. Slavic) for decades and wrote about the coming war between Germany and Russia in Mein Kampf and other places. Much of the early war was setting the stage for the final meeting of the totalitarian philosophies (Poland was split between the two, Germany wanted to secure the western front with France and England before invading Russia) which was viewed by Hitler as the main battle of his great war.Of course, Germany was not able to destroy or disable England (which would have discouraged the Americans for getting involved, he felt) and thus attacking Russia opened up a gigantic second front and eventually stretched the Germans to breaking point. The great, inevitable struggle became Hitler's downfall.The frightening thing is how close Russia was to collapsing as the Germans rolled towards Moscow. They very nearly won.AnswerThe main reason for Operation Barbarosa was to give Germany living space to expand. Hitlers plan was to make the Slavs living in Russia (up to the Urals at least) 'disappear' except for the ones he kept around as servants for the new German residents he would send in to colonize. The plan was to send in German far families after the war was won who would have alot of kids who would be able to supply the German army with millions of new recruits in the future. AnswerAdolf Hitler needed more resources for its hungry machines. Germany has a small area, with little supplies. USSR(Russia) was rich in oil and other resources, Germany needed that resource to continue the war. Also, if Hitler wanted to control Europe, he must take down USSR, it was the largest country in Europe as well as the world. AnswerHitler wanted land in the east for the German people to expand into and settle on. He regarded Slavs, like the Russians, as inferior subhumans. Therefor he thought there was absolutely nothing wrong, indeed it was the right of the German people, with invading Russia, enslaving or exterminating the population, and settling Germans on the empty land. He also thought that the inherent superiority and racial purity of the German people would make it easy to defeat the inferior Russians. AnswerHitler believed the Bolsheviks were a cause of Germany losing WWI. And Hitler also thought that if he was able to defeat Russia, that Britain would succumb to the power of Germany and surrender. AnswerThe invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 was a result of several things. Firstly, Hitler regarded the Slavic population as 'untermensch' or sub-human, and believed that the Aryan German race should have 'living space' or lebensraum in the East. Moreover, Hitler believed, as with many other leading Nazis, that Germany's defeat in WW1 was a result of a Jewish-Bolshevik conspiracy, and that the threat of this needed to be purged. Thus, as a communist nation, the USSR was a likely target for invasion. AnswerHitler always hated the USSR specifically, because he detested Communism. His plans to invade were revealed as early as 1924 when he wrote his political testament, "Mein Kampf". The specific timing is probably as a result of the early German successes in the war: Hitler got over-confident. AnswerBoundless expansion in Russia had been Hitler's dream ever since 1918. AnswerAll of the current answers do not reflect the new information that has come from the Soviet archives and the German archives that the soviets took back to Russia after WWII. There is much new information that has come from Russian historians that have searched these archives and painstakingly documented what really happened and are now trying to set the record straight.There are reams of evidence that Stalin was less than 2 weeks from invading NAZI occupied Europe and it was Stalin's intention to take the whole thing. Hitler knew this. He also knew that the Russian war machine was decisively better equipped for offensive operations and many times more powerful than the German army tank for tank.The personal reasons that Hitler invaded are also true but the only hope of survival for the Nazis and was a preemptive strike on the Russian army which was all bunched up at the border and poised to invade with no defensive plans or training.The evidence is overwhelming and I will not be argumentative or disparage any of the other answers. They are also true but only tell a part of the picture._____The information about a planned preemptive Soviet strike comes almost entirely from Victor Suvorov, who defected to the West in 1978. There's this strange notion that because he was a defector had privileged knowledge of Soviet history. In fact the information that he 'revealed' was already in the public domain at the time.After the fall of France in 1940 the Soviet general staff opted for 'forward defense' but the proportion of troops based near the western frontier of the Soviet Union was nowhere near enough what would have been needed for a preemptive strike.I wonder of the person who is making these claims above can name a couple of respected historians of World War 2 who support this claim.Note the following comment from the Wikipedia article on Suvorov's Icebreaker :"Summarizing the western scholars' opinion on IcebreakerHugh Ragsdale concludes that the book is "generally considered discredited" by now, whereas Jonathan Haslam notes that Suvorov's claims "would be comical were it not taken so seriously".
