War Department General orders Number 33 of 1945
War Department General orders Number 40 of 1945

Could anyone tell me what this means? What were the orders given?

Hi WendyE,

Googled a few pieces and come up with this.

Could be something to do with the USA and the CIA documents released earlier this year that detailed the use of Nazis as spies after the surrender.

May be something completely different, however it is somewhere to start.

You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?
