Title: The Archive Of Meyer J. Frechie, The Jewish American Army Officer Who Organized Covert Allied Transportation To Normandy For D-Day
Author: (WORLD WAR II ARCHIVE)
Seller: Stuart Lutz Historic Documents, Inc. (United States)
Description: MEYER J. FRECHIE (1907-1988). An American Army Lieutenant Colonel in World War Two, Frechie was Chief of the Operational Branch of the Transportation Office and was responsible for coordinating the transportation logistics of the Normandy Invasion (D-Day). Archive. More than 1,600 pieces. 1942-1953. The archive of Lieutenant Colonel (later Colonel) Meyer J. Frechie. The archive primarily dates from 1942 to 1945. It includes letters to and from his family in Philadelphia, including his wife, young son, parents, and sister, and military papers, including some interesting material directly related to his work in Allied transportation.Frechie, a graduate of the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, worked as a traffic manager for the railroad and steamship industries before the war. After the United Statess entry into World War Two, the military actively courted Frechie for his skill in transportation logistics. He joined the war effort as a civilian traffic manager for the Army in 1941 before officially joining the Army at the rank of Captain in February 1942 and being sent to London. There, he was put in charge of coordinating the covert transport of Allied servicemen and supplies from England to Normandy for D-Day. According to the lengthy text accompanying his citation for the Legion of Merit, Frechies war-time activities were, in part, as follows:The Operational Branch, Movements Division, Office of the Chief of Transportation, was activated in August 1943. Lt. Col. Frechie, being the only officer available with amphibious operational experience, was designated Chief of said Branch. He developed his staff by sending his officers and men thru a series of strenuous exercises with the British and American Forces at various places in the United Kingdom in preparation for D-DayLt. Col. Frechie, as Chief of the Operational Branch, was responsible for the movement of all troops, vehicles, equipment and supplies for movement OVERLORD. From D-Day to 7 September 1944 a total of 1,302,954 personnel, 260,433 vehicles, and 1,272,532 deadweight tons of supplies have been shipped from the United Kingdom ports to the Continent. The entire OVERLORD movement program was executed by the movement instructions issued by the Operational BranchLt. Col. Frechie arranged for the building of scale models of various landing craft and scale wood blocks of various general purpose and special purpose vehicles to be used in movement OVERLORDParticipating in actual exercises where one or more of the plans were tested by actual execution, Lt. Col. Frechie analysed the results and proceeded t make final plans for movement to implement Army requirements. Lectures were made to the Air Force and Ground Services outlining movement plans; ports and depots were visited and careful studies made of their capacity to handle the vast quantity of supplies, vehicles and personnel necessary to sustain the operation. Many obstacles were confronted and surmounted by Lt. Col. Frechie in perfection of operation OVERLORDThis required the greatest flexibility in operation which the Operational Branch, under Lt. Col. Frechie, was able to exert with dispatchAt all times, Lt. Col. Frechies superior judgment, keen foresight, expert planning and unselfish devotion to duty, maintained an exceedingly high state of morale among the officers and men associated with him, and his efforts can be directly attributed to the prolonged success of this vitally important mission of the Transportation Corps.Frechie was discharged from active duty in November 1945 and served in the Army Reserves until 1953. He was promoted to Colonel in 1946.The archive contains two large boxes and three small boxes of letters and documents. All are in at least good condition, with the exception of a few torn letters. Highlights are as follows:One large box of military paperwork. The highlight is a book entitled Berth Allocation Ports UK and marked Most Secret on the cover; it examines many British ports and their capacity in preparation for the D-Day Landings. It includes a booklet of secret maps and information about ports in the United Kingdom. There is also a thick file of diverse paperwork relating to Frechies military career (a mix of originals and copies, some of it quite mundane, such as records of his travel within the UK), booklets written by Frechie, including Preliminary Analysis and Recommendations Cargo Documentation Procedure and Historical Critique of the United Kingdom Overlord Movements (three copies), certificates of appointment as Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel, copies of his Honorable Discharge, citations for the Bronze Star and Legion of Merit, and a thick file of documents relating directly to his work on the Normandy landings. Much of the most interesting and unique material can be found in this box. The two thick files are hundreds of pages each.One large box of hand-written letters and copies of V-Mail to and from Frechies wife, Rita, and son, Allen. There are 659 letters from Frechie to Rita and Allen, including many duplicates. They are dated 1942-1945 and 1947, and there are also numerous letters dated only with the month and day. The greatest number are dated late 1942 and 1943, when he wrote multi-page letters to her every day, often more than once per day. There are also 230 letters to Frechie from his wife and son, the majority dating to 1942. This is the bulk of the archive, both in number of unique items and in quantity of pages.One small box of hand-written letters and copies of V-Mail to (144) and from (246) Frechies parents, Bessye and Jack. There are numerous copies of V-Mail from Frechies mother, including some duplicates.One small box of hand-written letters and copies of V-Mail to (43) and from (206) Frechies sister Fleurette Lang, brother-in-law Stanley, and niece Jackie. The majority is copies of V-Mail letters from Fleurette.One small box of miscellaneous cards, newspaper clippings, assorted Army-related pamphlets, etc.This is the substantial archive of a man who made a unique and valuable contribution to the Allied victory in World War Two.

Description: 1827. First Edition. LOUAILLIER, Louis. The Appeal of L. Louaillier, Sen. Against the Charge of High Treason, and Explaining the Transactions at New-Orleans. New Orleans: No publisher, 1827. Octavo, stitched as issued, original printed beige self-wrappers; pp. 28. $2900.First edition of this address supporting John Quincy Adams for the presidency by objecting to Andrew Jackson's continuation of martial law in New Orleans after the British withdrawal.Issued during the presidential campaign of 1828, this pamphlet takes on Andrew Jackson's establishment of martial law in New Orleans during the War of 1812. When state senator Louis Louaillier wrote an article objecting to Jackson's military dictatorship, he was arrested. When Judge Dominic Hall dared to criticize Jackson's suspension of habeas corpus and Louaillier's arrest, he was arrested too and charged with treason. When Hall was eventually released, he fined Jackson $1000, a huge sum at the time that a number of officials felt was unreasonable. Louaillier, in turn, offered this address, published here for the first time, in which he speaks of the injustices Jackson inflicted on him and implored his fellow citizens to vote for John Quincy Adams (who ultimately lost).

Title: Articles of Agreement; Final Act; ; United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference Bretton Woods, N.H. July 1 to 22, 1944
Author: [International Monetary Fund]
Seller: Biblioctopus (United States)
Description: Washington DC: International Monetary Fund, 1944. First Edition. Original blue/gray printed stapled wrappers. Some pencil notations, toning and a small chip to front wrapper, else very good condition. Printed by the IMF as opposed to the more common U.S. Treasury printing. 56 pp. The first American publication of the foundational charter that established the post-war international monetary system. This document emerged from the gathering of 730 delegates from all 44 Allied nations at the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, from July 1-22, 1944, to regulate the international monetary and financial order after World War II. The Articles of Agreement established fixed exchange rates with countries required to guarantee convertibility of their currencies into U.S. dollars within 1% of fixed parity rates, with the dollar convertible to gold at $35 per troy ounce. The conference was driven by lessons learned from the interwar period, with President Franklin D. Roosevelt and officials like Secretary of State Cordell Hull believing that free trade promoted not just prosperity, but also peace. The two principal architects were John Maynard Keynes, adviser to the British Treasury, and Harry Dexter White, chief international economist at the U.S. Treasury Department. While both envisioned fixed exchange rates conducive to international trade expansion, White's more limited plan for a Stabilization Fund ultimately prevailed over Keynes's proposal for a global central bank issuing a new international currency called the "bancor". The Articles of Agreement required ratification by countries representing at least 80 percent of the capital subscriptions to take effect. This threshold was reached on December 27, 1945 (over a year and a half after the conference concluded) when twenty-nine member countries had ratified the agreement, formally establishing the IMF and the system where countries kept their currencies fixed but adjustable to the dollar. This monetary architecture dominated global finance until President Nixon's "Nixon Shock" of August 15, 1971, which suspended dollar convertibility to gold and effectively ended the Bretton Woods system. The system had aimed to prevent competitive devaluations and encourage an open trading system, establishing the IMF to monitor exchange rates and lend reserve currencies to countries with balance of payments deficits. This official American publication thus stands as the foundational charter of the modern international monetary system, documenting the moment when multilateral cooperation replaced the economic nationalism that had characterized the interwar period.

In 1894 she married Woodforde-Finden of the Indian Army and for some years lived in India; when her Four Indian Love Lyrics (from Laurence Hope's The Garden of Kama) were published privately in 1902, their success, particularly that of the Kashmiri Song ('Pale hands I loved beside the Shalimar'), gained her a regular publisher and a faithful public. She followed these songs with A Lover in Damascus (Charles Hanson Towne; 1904), On Jhelum River (Frederick John Fraser; 1905), The Pagoda of Flowers (Fraser; 1907) and other collections, as well as many individual songs, often with oriental subjects and notable for their fluent, sentimental melody."

From lower cover: J. Francis Angier was raised on a Vermont farm and became a B-17 pilot during WWII. He flew jets and helicopters during the Cold War as well as many other types and models during a long aviation career. His love of flying was only exceeded by his love of family and country. Shot down over Germany in 1944, he spent seven months as a POW. His training, air battles, capture and survival are part of the story. So too are the many experiences that positioned and prepared him for his part in the air war over Europe. In Ready or Not you’ll come to understand and appreciate one of the many heroes of what Tom Brokaw has called, “The Greatest Generation.”
