1953425891New London Connecticut: General Dynamics Electric Boat 1953. Unbound. Near Fine. A collection of 50 black and white press photographs of the U.S.S. Nautilus measuring 8" x 10". Additionally included are a newspaper clipping and two programs discussing the ship. All items near fine with some edgewear.<br /> <br /> An archive of photographs and programs following the construction and later christening of the U.S.S. Nautilus the first nuclear powered submarine. The photographs are part of the public relations branch of General Dynamics Corporation's Electric Boat Division which was responsible for constructing the ship. A brochure from 1952 when construction began is entitled "The Beginning of an Era" and according to a printed note from the Chairman was "prepared to commemorate an occasion significant in history - the first application of atomic power to propulsion - in a submarine now to help preserve the peace." It continues "I am sure you share my pride that the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corporation was selected for this most important undertaking and I hope that you will find interest and pleasure in this brochure as a memento of the keel laying." The earliest photographs depict the keeling process and early construction including a photo of President Truman from the keel laying ceremony. <br /> <br /> In 1954 when the submarine was completed the christening ceremony was conducted by Mamie Eisenhower. A program from this ceremony is also featured here along with professional photographs from the event. The introduction of the program reads "January 21 1954 lives in history as the launching day of the world's first atomic powered vessel the submarine "Nautilus.'" It continues "we are particularly honored to have as our sponsor the First Lady of the Land Mrs. Dwight David Eisenhower." The photos show Mamie arriving by train the crowds surrounding the submarine and Mamie holding a bottle of champagne for the christening. One of these photos shows Mamie in a fur coat with the president of the Electric Boat Division showing her where to break the champagne bottle. Other images show the launched submarine departing the dock and Mamie touching the hands of people in the crowd and handing roses to children. <br /> <br /> The use of nuclear propulsion allowed the vessel to stay submerged longer and thus it was able to travel to places "previously beyond the limits of submarines." In August of 1958 it was the first vessel to complete a "submerged transit of the North Pole." According to the National Park Service "Nautilus was decommissioned in 1980 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1982."<br /> <br /> An interesting collection detailing the early days of the first atomic powered submarine.

344736/4/45. <blockquote><p>“It is always encouraging to be reassured that the people at home are 100% behind us and appreciate the sacrifices of our troops.â€</p></blockquote><p>General Dwight D. Eisenhower the Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe orchestrated the defeat of Germany’s Third Reich during World War II. He could only have done so with the support of the American people for which he was eternally grateful and of his courageous soldiers many of whom were killed in action.</p><p>April 1945 saw the war in Europe in its final weeks with intense fighting and many significant events. These included the continuing bloody Allied invasion of Germany and the Battle of Berlin and Soviet advance into that city. As Allied forces in the West closed in they liberated concentration camps like Bergen-Belsen. April was also marked by the execution of Benito Mussolini suicide of Adolf Hitler and on April 12 the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. On May 8 V-E Day the war in Europe would come to an end.</p><p>While his role as a military leader was crucial to the war’s outcome Eisenhower was equally important in the documentation of Nazi brutality and the truth of the Holocaust. This was an important aspect of April 1945 for him. On April 4 the Third United States Army liberated the Ohrdruf camp. That camp was an extension of the Buchenwald Concentration Camp. On the day of liberation the SS members of Ohrdruf evacuated many of the prisoners on death marches. As U.S. troops arrived they found scenes of mass murder while also coming into contact with the camp’s surviving prisoners. The living prisoners were starving emaciated and desperately needed medical attention. Eisenhower along with Generals George Patton and Omar Bradley visited the Ohrdruf concentration camp personally on April 12 1945. While driving towards the camp the smell of decaying flesh was present and dead bodies littered the streets. Eisenhower was “never so angry in my life†stating that the “English language didn’t even have words that could describe†what he saw. Eisenhower wrote to Winston Churchill following his time at Ohrdruf stating that “everything you read in the paper does not adequately describe what has really happened here.†Thus in April 1945 Eisenhower was profoundly impacted by the horrors that he witnessed and demanded that newspaper editors representative groups German civilians and Allied soldiers bear witness.</p><p><strong>Typed letter signed</strong> on his Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force letterhead Germany April 6 1945 just two days after the taking of Ohrdruf and six days before his famous visit there to Mrs. Mamie Metz thanking her and the American people for their support of the army in the field and appreciation of its sacrifices. <em>“Many thanks for your interesting letter. It is always encouraging to be reassured that the people at home are 100% behind us and appreciate the sacrifices of our troops. My thanks also for your good wishes to me and all my command.â€</em></p><p>An important statement showing Eisenhower’s feelings about the American people’s sustaining and backing the army and gratitude for the sacrifices of the soldiers issued right near the end of World War II in Europe.</p><p>Some trimming and evidence of past mounting on verso.</p><p><img class=""alignnone wp-image-25018 size-post-window"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /></p> unknown
