Are you applying to those programs based on location/university? Are they departments strong in your particular field (Germany in WWII)?

I am most likely going to go for an MA rather than into a PhD program right away, although this is not final.

Most of those (maybe all) of those programs do not admit students to just an MA. The only way to get only an MA would be to be admitted to and start the Ph.D and quit after the MA, which isn't looked upon nicely. Some schools offer terminal MAs, but my guess is most of those you listed do not.
