text: Don't fret. If you're sick of all the Hellcat hype, it's nothing that a trip down to Yoga class in your 50 mpg hybrid can't cure. Stock up on overpriced organic produce at the local farmer's market and adopt a foreign baby on the way back, and order will be restored in your planet-saving universe. The rest of us can't get enough of the 6.2L Hellcat V-8 and its 707 supercharged horsepower. By now, you already know that the Challenger SRT8's Hellcat Hemi is the most powerful domestic production engine ever built, and one of the most potent engines in the world. What real car guys want to know is how the Hellcat is different from earlier Gen III Hemis, what parts will interchange, how easily it swaps into old-school Mopars, and how much hp it's got left in the tank. Not surprisingly, Chrysler's PR department is working overtime to diffuse the Hellcat media storm. Presumably, engineers have better things to do—like engineering stuff—so the rest of the world is merely regurgitating the exact same tidbits of Hellcat info off the Chrysler press release. Yawn. Since we never settle for fluff, we exhausted our connections to arrange a chat with Director of Advanced and SRT Powertrain Engineering, Chris Cowland. Simply put, Chrysler says 91 percent of the Hellcat's components are all-new, so we want to know how different they are from existing Gen III Hemi hardware. Until engine builders get to see the Hellcat firsthand, this is probably the most detailed information you're going to find on it anywhere. You're welcome. Displacement Reduction While some internet chatter has bemoaned that the 6.2L Hellcat is a few cubes smaller than its less potent 6.4L Apache Hemi stable mate, from a durability standpoint the reduction in displacement makes a lot of sense. The new 6.2L combines the 4.09-inch bore of the 6.4L Hemi with the 3.58-inch stroke of the 5.7- and 6.1L Hemis. The shorter stroke (3.72- vs 3.58 inches) offers three distinct advantages. First off, it increases the crank overlap—the portion of the main and rod journals that overlap each other—thus increasing strength. Secondly, considering that the Hellcat utilizes the same block deck height and connecting rod length as the 6.4L Hemi, the shorter stroke enabled Chrysler engineers to increase the compression height of the pistons. In a forced induction application, having more piston material between the wristpin centerline and the piston crown not only provides more space for thicker ringlands, but it also allows pushing the top ring farther down the bore. This isolates it from the extreme cylinder pressure and heat generated through supercharging. Lastly, reducing the compression ratio is a must in any forced induction combo, and the Hellcat Hemi relies on a larger piston dish to reduce compression from 10.9:1 to 9.5:1. A taller compression height makes it possible to fit a larger dish into the piston without compromising durability. According to Chrysler , 91 percent of Hellcat's components are new compared to the 6.4L Hemi. Carefully studying this cutaway reveals a concave dish profile on the piston crowns. According to Chrysler , 91 percent of Hellcat's components are new compared to the 6.4L Hemi. Carefully studying this cutaway reveals a concave dish profile on the piston crowns. Beefier Short-Block In extreme boost applications, hot rodders have already pushed the factory Gen III Hemi block well past 1,000 hp, so it's a plenty durable piece of cast iron already. Not surprisingly, outside of cooling enhancements, the Hellcat's block is otherwise unchanged. "The 6.2L Hellcat Hemi block features a new and distinct water jacket geometry," Cowland explains. "The increased thermal loading on the cylinder block necessitated changes to the water flow around the top of the cylinder to keep the bore walls and head gaskets at acceptable temperatures. The main bearing caps are common for both the 6.4L Apache and 6.2L Hellcat." The Hellcat's crankshaft is similar to the Apache forging, but with several key enhancements. To improve impact and wear resistance, the crank journals are induction hardened. Although this process is more localized than nitriding—which treats the entire crankshaft, not just the bearing surfaces—induction hardening offers much deeper penetration. Bolted to the crank is a damper capable of withstanding 13,000 rpm. Additionally, the pistons swing on floating pins that utilize a carbon coating for enhanced load resistance. "The reduced-stroke Hellcat Hemi crankshaft is machined from the Apache forging, but it sees a number of key production process differences to increase durability," says Cowland. "In order to cope with the higher firing loads, the crank fillets are rolled under a higher load to increase fatigue strength. In addition, the bearing surfaces are induction hardened and run in conjunction with higher load capacity bearings. The bearing clearances and the micro geometry of the bearing surfaces on the crank are also optimized on the Hellcat Hemi." Since driving a supercharger with a belt places tremendous loads on the crank snout, Chrysler stepped up its game once again. "The Apache crankshaft already featured a rolled fillet on the nose of the crank to elevate fatigue strength, and this process is carried over on the Hellcat Hemi. In order to provide the necessary drive torque for the supercharger, the size of the pulley/damper bolt has been increased by 2 mm, and a diamond-coated washer between the pulley and crank provide a very high friction coefficient," Cowland reveals. The Hellcat's forged pistons and connecting rods are all-new as well. "The Hellcat's rod length is the same as in the Apache, but the small end structure and design is entirely different. They are manufactured from a different alloy as well," Cowland explains. Hot rodders will naturally be curious about what specific types of alloys are used in these forgings, but a direct comparison to popular aftermarket alloys such as 4340 steel and 2618 aluminum aren't possible. "The materials used for both the connecting rod and piston forgings are proprietary blends that do not conform to traditional alloy nomenclature. That said, the Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating on the piston pins increases the load-carrying capacity and also reduces friction." Heads and Cam Fixing things that aren't broken makes no sense, so it's not the least bit surprising that the 6.2L Hellcat shares the same basic cylinder head architecture as the 6.4L Apache. In fact, Car Craft's independent testing has already revealed that the Apache heads are phenomenal performers capable of flowing over 340 cfm at .600-inch lift. One important difference is that the Hellcat is fitted with hollow-stem, sodium-filled exhaust valves capable of sustaining temperatures up to 1,472 degrees Fahrenheit. "The Apache ports already flowed extremely well while creating the desired charge motion for the Hellcat Hemi when combined with the lower-compression piston bowl," says Cowland. "The main change to the cylinder head is the move to a higher strength alloy with increased conductivity, which is required in order to withstand the additional thermal and mechanical loading. The head gasket is also specific to the Hellcat to improve sealing at high firing pressures." So far, the Challenger SRT8 is the only car available with the supercharged Hellcat option. Let's hope the Hellcat option box pops on Charger and Grand Cherokee order forms soon. So far, the Challenger SRT8 is the only car available with the supercharged Hellcat option.

Our Top Priority
Our volunteer trips are life-changing experiences that allow participants to volunteer abroad and immerse themselves in local culture. But for our team at Me to We, safety is our first and most important priority. As any Me to We employee will tell you, for us safety is number one and everything else comes second.
Me to We has been facilitating volunteer trips overseas since 2002. Since then, we have taken more than 6,500 youth to Ecuador, Kenya, China, India, Ghana, Nicaragua and Arizona without incident. We've worked with partners for whom safety is paramount, who have evaluated our extensive risk management procedures. These partners include:
- Oprah's Angel Network
- YPO (Young Presidents Organization)
- Virgin Atlantic
- Toronto Catholic District School Board
- EF Educational Tours
- Travel Cuts
- University of Alberta
- University of Toronto
- Many other notable partners
At Me to We, we take serious measures and precautions to ensure all our participants are safe throughout their trip. From the moment your child or student approaches you about going on a Me to We trip, to the moment they return home, there are numerous proactive safety measures and protocols in place. For more detailed information on the extensive safety measures taken by Me to We, please refer to the links below:
- Guide you through all the necessary paperwork
- Confidentially gather your child's medical information from their trip application, ensuring that the Associate Director of Risk Management and the Me to We Country Office are well-briefed on any specific medical needs your child has
- Help you purchase a comprehensive insurance package for your child (if they don't already have one), which includes trip cancellation, trip interruption and medical coverage
- Guide you through the application process should your child require a visa for their trip
- Register all participants with their respective embassy to ensure accountability in case of emergency
- Guide you through the packing list, ensuring your child packs the necessary gear to keep them safe, happy and healthy during their trip (e.g. long pants, water bottle, sunscreen)
- Conduct a pre-departure presentation, in person or via webinar
- Have a candid conversation with your child regarding their upcoming trip that will:
- Address any questions they may have
- Go over the rules and expectations held for all of our trip participants
- Speak to the highlights your child will experience on their trip and what they can look forward to
- Recommend that your child visits a travel doctor to discuss any necessary vaccinations or medications they may need for their trip
- Ensure that your child's airport departure runs smoothly, and welcome your child upon their return home
- If your child is traveling with a school or community group, the trip coordinator will book the group flights and monitor connecting flights, ensuring that everyone's travel plans are well in place prior to departure
- Once your child's group arrives at the airport we will ensure (in conjunction with the school) that the airport check-in is as smooth as possible
- Our extensive facilitator training program, held twice a year, includes emergency evacuation protocols, standard operating procedures and crisis prevention/management training
- Local hospitals with Western medical standards are aware of our trips and prepared to handle any minor or major medical situations.
- Air evacuation is used for emergencies, where service is applicable and/or required
- Copies of all passports, medical and travel insurance, emergency contact information, and dietary and medical requirements are collected at least 60 days prior to departure
- Travel advisories for each country location Me to We operates in are monitored by international and country offices on a regular basis, as issued by:
- The Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade
- The United Kingdom's Foreign and Commonwealth Office
- The United States Department of State
- Upon arrival, your child will be met at the airport by Me to We staff members, regardless of whether they are travelling alone or with a group
- All vehicles utilized for in-country transportation are owned and operated by either Me to We or a trusted transportation provider
- All vehicles follow regular maintenance standards and have functioning seatbelts for every occupant
- Where possible, transportation only happens by day, accompanied by our expert facilitators
- Facilitators are accessible at all times using a variety of methods of communication and speak with the Country Director on a daily basis
- All facilitators are trained in first aid, and carry a first-aid kit at all times
- During project-building activities, all participants are given thorough instructions on the use of simple equipment and wear protective equipment including hard hats, safety goggles and gloves
- All meals are prepared by Me to We trained cooks, who are knowledgeable of our food preparation standards, and use only filtered water in their preparation
- The exception to this is when groups are in major urban centres such as Quito, Managua and Beijing—in these instances Me to We groups visit restaurants that maintain Western sanitation standards
- Participants have access to filtered or bottled water at all times
|During a soccer game, your child sprains their ankle. After a brief assessment, the facilitator sees that your child is in a lot of pain. Using their emergency cell phone, the facilitator calls the Country Director, who is the senior-most staff member in charge of all Me to We trips in that destination.
|After obtaining all of the necessary information, the Country Director makes the decision to bring your child to a nearby medical clinic. The Country Director arranges to meet your child, their facilitator and the Me to We driver (who is driving an emergency "tail" vehicle) at the clinic. At no point is your child left alone. En-route, the Country Director calls the 24-hour emergency phone in Toronto to loop them in to the situation.
|Upon receiving the Country Director's phone call on the 24-hour emergency phone, the Associate Director of Risk Management records all details of the incident. They will then call you to inform you that your child is on their way to a clinic for a possible sprained ankle, accompanied by Me to We staff. Where appropriate, a phone call will be arranged between you and your child before they are seen by a physician. Where applicable, the Associate Director of Risk Management will then open an insurance claim on behalf of your child.
|After being seen by the physician, the Country Director will call the Toronto 24-hour emergency phone with the diagnosis and plan of action (e.g. close monitoring, elevation, light activities on the build site).
|The Associate Director of Risk Management will provide you with the physician's diagnosis and plan of action. When possible (and if desired), additional phone calls will be arranged between you and your child.
|If applicable, updates on your child's ankle will be provided to you by the Associate Director of Risk Management.
|Once your child returns home, you will be provided with the medical reports (if applicable) and the insurance claim number, opened on your child's behalf.
Please note: a similar communication protocol will be employed should an emergency occur at home and you require immediate communication with your child.
If you would like to walk through how this communication protocol would change in the event of a more serious medical or political emergency, please feel free to contact one of our senior risk management team members, at 1.877.638.6931 x510.

Planning monthly events throughout the entire year was the key to [my children's] fundraising success. They have used both traditional fundraising methods such as holding birthday and holiday potlucks, bake sales, silent auctions and soliciting corporate sponsors, as well as more creative ideas like reverse raffle draws and coin drives. In addition, the online fundraising page was a very convenient way of getting the word out to family and friends overseas through social media.
Fundraising was never a task undertaken by just the kids—it was definitely a team effort and encouraged family bonding. After our hard work of planning, organizing, and implementing their fundraising ideas, helping [my children] reach their goals was an incredibly rewarding experience."
—Vicky Wong, parent of Me to We trip participants
Read an endorsement from Dr. Mark Wise, internationally recognized travel doctor and creator of The Travel Clinic.
"The number one concern of any parent on any overseas program is, 'Will my child be safe?' The standards of safety that Me to We subscribes to are the highest of any service program I am aware of."
"For [my daughter and her friend], this was truly an adventure of a lifetime. They are both spectacular individuals. It's not that they are changed—they are more 'enhanced.' The good qualities and the profound values are accentuated and the goodness just radiates through. And the gratitude is boundless. This is what life is all about."

What's the Best City for Trick-or-Treating?
Being named the best city for trick-or-treating isn't so much like taking candy from a baby as it is taking candy from someone who opens their front door when you ring it.

Want to get spooked in Las Cruces?! This is a great event and close to home!
Going to a Halloween costume party this year? Want to know what's hot or want to know what not to be so you aren't like everyone else? Here is the top five list of most popular Halloween Costumes for 2013...
These days Halloween is all Naughty This and Sexy That, but the roots of our spookiest holiday's traditions—from pumpkins to trick-or-treating—run deep, their origins reaching back thousands of years to pre-Christian pagan festivals and superstitions. These quirky bits of trivia about the history of Halloween should help you better appreciate all the ghouls and witches wandering about (and your hoard of candy):
I'm a bit of a homebody and sometimes struggle to find new and exciting things to do. Luckily for me, my friend Annie from Annie's Adventures is always around to clue me in on what's happening in the area. Luckily for you, I'm not selfish with the information and will gladly pass it on to you. Like the 'Day of the Dancing Dead' street celebration she told me about.
Ghosts, goblins and ghouls! Get ready for your Halloween bash and make it memorable!
It must be something about everybody being in costume that makes Halloween so much fun for people of all ages. All the masks being worn must give people a sense anonymity and courage. On November 1st you can always say, "Hey, it was Halloween and it wasn't my fault, my '2006 Borat Sling Thong Swimsuit' costume inspired me to do it," and your friends will generally agree (provided you kept your shenanigans to a misdemeanor)."
Love a gruesome, weird, horror like stories? I have a few for you! Heard the one about smoking a dead persons finger?!
Online you can see all the different Halloween costumes out there and you can get everything from a Duck Dynasty star to The Hunger Games' Girl on Fire. Here is my list of the hottest celebrity Halloween costumes for 2013
I actually made this over the weekend and I was so excited it tasted just like it! No more dishing out cash for my fav! I can make it at home all fall and winter long!
I've always of course loved that we get today off, but why? Not until I work a ton did I ponder this question!
It's no joke when you get pulled over for drinking then driving home intoxicated.

Stoney Creek Football Wins Home Opener
Varsity Football team wins their home opener 28-20 against Rochester Adams on Friday night! The win marks the first time in the brief history of the school that the Varsity Football team has defeat a team from Rochester Adams.
Entering the evening, Adams favored by 4 touchdowns and having won the previous 5 meeting between the schools, including a 17-7 playoff win to end the season for the Cougars last year, appeared to be the team to beat. Early in the evening it appear as though Adams would increase their lead on this crosstown series to 6-0. Having weathered the first quarter pressure from Adams, the Cougars began to turn the flow of the game in their direction and entered halftime down 20-7.
In the second half, the team and coaches continued to push things in their favor. Late in the 3rd quarter, the defense forced a fumble on a goal line stance and used that swing in momentum to take the lead for good late into the 4th quarter. With each team trading opportunities late in the game, the win came down to a fourth down and eight call, which Stoney Creek was able to turn into a 1st down and allowed them to run out the clock to their first win against an Adams team.

Fibromyalgia Health Center
Cymbalta for Fibromyalgia Treatment
Drug Interactions
In rare cases, a life-threatening condition called serotonin syndrome has occurred in patients who have taken Cymbalta. Serotonin syndrome most often results when someone takes two or more medications that increase the body's serotonin levels at the same time. You need serotonin for your brain and nerve cells to function, but too much of it can be dangerous. Serotonin syndrome can lead to rapid changes in blood pressure, muscle rigidity, seizures, and even death.
This is why it is so important that your health care providers know what medications you are taking. Always tell them about all the medicines you take, including over-the-counter drugs and herbs and supplements.
Drugs that may interact with Cymbalta and cause serotonin syndrome include:
- Cough medicines that contain dextromethorphan
- Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs)
- Nausea and heartburn medications such as metoclopramide (Reglan) and ondansetron (Zofran)
- Pain medications, including meperidine (Demerol, a painkiller) and tramadol (Ultram)
- St. John's wort
- Triptans, used to treat migraine headaches
Other drugs may also interact with Cymbalta, including:
- Blood thinners, including warfarin, aspirin, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Taking Cymbalta with such medications may increase your chances for bleeding events.
Before You Take Cymbalta
Tell your doctor about any other medical conditions you may have. The drug should be prescribed with caution in those who have:
- A history of seizures or mania
- Conditions that slow gastric emptying (sometimes occurs in those with diabetes)
- Diabetes (Cymbalta may effect blood sugar levels)
- High blood pressure or heart disease
- Liver disease
- Kidney disease
Who Should Not Take Cymbalta?
You should not take Cymbalta if you:
- Are taking a medication called thioridazine
- Are taking a medicine called MAOI or have used one in the last 14 days
- Have uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma
In animal studies Cymbalta has demonstrated adverse effects on a developing fetus. No adequate or well-controlled studies of the drug have been performed in pregnant or breastfeeding women. Women who are breastfeeding, pregnant, or planning to become pregnant should talk to their doctor about whether or not Cymbalta is right for them. You should only take Cymbalta if the benefits outweigh the risks.

Two new productions focus on what happens when the status quo (based on assumptions that rest on a foundation of male privilege) is undermined by women who are more intelligent, more complex, more aggressive and better at what they do than certain men in their lives.

Tony Benn, 1925-2014
"Tony Benn was one of the most mesmerising and divisive figures in the mainstream of postwar British politics. An establishment insider who became a rebellious leftwing outsider, a cabinet minister turned street protester and reviled prophet of capitalism's demise, he nonetheless managed in old age to become something of a national treasure. 'It's because I'm harmless now,' he would explain."

Bossypants was a good read, not something I'd call a must-read, but definitely worth a look, especially when on the go. I liked that I could put it down for days and come back to it with no trouble.

One of the curious things about SEO optimization is that it works by altering webpages so that they market themselves: that is, instead of creating ads external to the thing advertised, you re-shape the thing itself so that it's easier to find and more interesting and attractive to link-clickers. And if we can do it with webpages, why not with, say, books? Why shouldn't books undergo whatever ongoing tweaking they need to be as successful as possible?
Interesting article. Definitely worth a read for the marketing-minded author.

Tick, tick, tick. Jordan's eyes were glued to the clock. He had tuned out Professor Stewart for the last half hour, focusing instead on daydreams about the upcoming break. Tick, tick, tick. Just a few minutes.
After class, he and his buddies would hit the road for their last vacation together as students. Each guy was heading a different direction after graduation, and they had no idea when they'd see one another again. They had determined that this trip would be epic.
"All right, class, that's it for today. Try to not get in too much trouble over spring break. And remember you have a paper due when you get back. No excuses," Professor Stewart said. Jordan slid his notebook in his bag and was out the door in seconds. It was time.
What happens next? Where do they go? Do they get into trouble? Do they have bad luck? Is the vacation awesome? Tell the story! Have fun, and remember to share!

Descriptive writing is hard. It takes a lot of effort to think about and describe an everyday event in a beautiful and extraordinary way. But it's completely worth it, and not just so you can gain critical acclaim.
According to this New York Times article, descriptive writing stimulates the brain. What does that mean for a writer? It means that when you write descriptive language, the brain is wired to connect with it. When these connections are formed, it's hard to put a book down.

BUFFALO, NY ( WKBW ) An Eyewitness News crew was on the scene at an early morning fire Monday that kept firefighters busy in South Buffalo near the West Seneca boarder.
The blaze broke out in the attic of a home on Buffum Street around 4:30 a.m. at a two family dwelling.
There were occupants in the lower part of the house when it went up in flames. They woke to first responders banging on their door. Everyone got out safely.
Firefighters initially had trouble getting water through the lines, which made fighting the fire a challenge.
Officials are investigating the cause of the fire, and are considering a full demolition of the property.

In addition to the recommendation on the number of NRSA positions, there are several other recommendations in this report that will require additional resources. Most call for modest increases and could be accomplished by a shifting of resources within an institute or center. Three, however, would require significant additional funds. They are listed below in priority order. In prioritizing these actions, the committee considered both their cost and their merits, along with likely future constraints on the NIH budget.
NIH should reinstitute its 2001 commitment to increase stipends at the predoctoral and postdoctoral levels for NRSA trainees. This should be done by budgeting regular, annual increases in postdoctoral stipends until the $45,000 level is reached for first-year appointments, and stipends should increase at the cost of living thereafter. Predoctoral stipends should also be increased at the same proportional rate as postdoctoral stipends and revert to cost-of-living increases once the comparison postdoctoral level reaches $45,000 (2–1).
When fully implemented, the estimated annual cost of this recommendation would be about $80 million, or 10 percent of the NRSA budget. If phased in over four years, the $20 million dollar annual increase would be about 2 percent of the NRSA training budget. This increase should not be accomplished by reducing the number of individuals supported by the NRSA program. Despite the cost, the committee thought this increase to be sufficiently important to give it the highest priority.
It has been almost 10 years since NIH endorsed the recommendation from the 2000 National Research Council (NRC) report and subsequently instituted a plan to increase the minimum postdoctoral stipend to $45,000 with proportional increases at the predoctoral level. But after a few years of implementation, there were no compensation increases, and in the past two years the increases were 1 percent. By returning to its targeted minimum, the NIH would allow NRSA stipends to be competitive and would retain the best trainees in the program. The quality of the workforce cannot be maintained without an appropriate level of support. The President also sees this as an issue, and the 2011 budget request for NIH included a 6 percent increase in stipend levels, although it was at the expense of a 1 percent decrease in the number of training slots.
The size of the Medical Science Training Program (MSTP) should be expanded by at least 20 percent, and more if financially feasible (3–4).
Currently there are 911 MSTP slots at an average cost of $41,806 per slot. An increase by 20 percent to about 1,100 slots would increase the MSTP budget by about $7.6 million, or 1 percent of the NRSA budget. If phased in over time, the impact would be less.
The MST Program has proved remarkably successful in attracting outstanding physicians into research. Although the program is expensive, we believe that a modest expansion would serve the nation well. A recommendation to increase the size of the program was made in the previous NRSA study but was not implemented. The committee also recommends, strongly, that this increase in the size of the MST program be accomplished by increasing the total number of MST programs and thereby the number of students trained, and not by expanding the size of existing MST programs. Broadening the scope of MSTP training responds to the current national commitment to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and accessibility of health resources, while controlling costs.
NIH should consider an increase in the indirect cost rate on NRSA training grants and K awards from 8 percent to the negotiated rate currently applied to research grants. The increase in the rate could be phased in over time (2–2).
This would require a five- or six-fold increase in indirect costs, or $191 million for the NRSA program at its current size and $338 million for K awards. There was not unanimity within the committee on this recommendation because of concerns about costs and the reduction in program size that could result with a stagnant NIH budget. An increase of $529 million is significant, even in light of the reasoning to have NIH share the full cost of administrating these programs, but the committee wanted to record its support for the measure and its hope that it could be implemented at some point.
Many of the requirements and support activities centered in training grants—such as minority recruiting, education in the responsible conduct of research, and professional development—have improved the overall tenor of graduate education immensely over the past decade. However, these activities cannot be covered by the current 8 percent indirect cost allowance and therefore must rely on institutional funds. Similarly the K awards, which have served a tremendously important role in fostering the early career development of both basic and clinical researchers, utilize the same facilities as funded researchers and generate their own significant administrative costs, yet have the same 8 percent indirect cost allowance.
NIH in 2009 issued a detailed policy outlining the agency's expectations for training in the responsible conduct of research (RCR), along with recommendations on how to establish specific curricula. The requirement of RCR training within the T32 mechanism has led to the development of curricula and educational practices that should benefit

|Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords
Josef Benedikt Bremm (3 May 1914 – 21 October 1998) was a German Officer, serving during World War II. He is noted for being the last recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords (German: Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes mit Eichenlaub und Schwertern). The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross and its higher grade Oak Leaves and Swords was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership.
Josef Bremm was born in Mannebach, Vulkaneifel on 3 May 1914. He joined the military service in the Wehrmacht on 1 November 1935 and spent two years as a Unteroffizier (sergeant) in Infanterie-Regiment 7 (7th infantry regiment) before he was discharged as an Unteroffizier in the military reserve. He was promoted to Leutnant of the reserves in 1938 and was listed with Infanterie-Regiment 425 (425th infantry regiment).[1]
- Iron Cross (1939)
- Infantry Assault Badge (13 November 1941)[3]
- Wound Badge
- Eastern Front Medal (25 July 1942)[3]
- Tank Destruction Badge for Individual Combatants[1]
- Close Combat Clasp in Bronze (1 July 1943)[3]
- Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords
- Knight's Cross on 18 February 1942 as Leutnant of the reserves and chief of the 5./Infanterie-Regiment 426[4][5]
- 165th Oak Leaves on 23 December 1942 as Oberleutnant of the reserves and chief of the 5./Grenadier-Regiment 426[6][7]
- 159th Swords on 9 May 1945 as Oberstleutnant and commander of Grenadier-Regiment 990[8][9][Notes 1]
- ^ Josef Bremm's nomination by the troop was rejected by Major Joachim Domaschk on 30 April 1945 and instead recommended for the German Cross in Gold. Just like all other nominations, which at this point in time were related to members of the 11. Armee, the nomination was not further processed since the 11. Armee had capitulated on 21 April 1945 and presentations to prisoners of war or missing in action were prohibited. In all other instances of similar circumstances a note on the nomination can be found stating: "postpone AOK 11" or "postpone according to AHA 44 Ziff. 572". The entry date noted on the nomination list for the higher grades of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross is 28 April 1945. The list indicates a note "deferred". The Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR) claims that the award was presented in accordance with the Dönitz-decree. This is illegal according to the Deutsche Dienststelle (WASt) and lacks legal justification. The sequential number "159" was assigned by the AKCR. The presentation date was assigned by Walther-Peer Fellgiebel. Bremm was member of the AKCR.[10]
