Kai's latest brings two things to mind-
Kai should have some sort of special medal here. In my time on the forums (minus some "vacations"
) I've never seen anyone who can find stuff on the web like he can. Especially the more esoteric, interesting, and sometimes downright strange stuff. Excellent find, as usual.
I can see the value of those "sleds" for transportation usage- I guess. Wouldn't a light/obsolete tank be better though, simply towing supplies? I guess if the snow was too deep, the sleds would work, but still...
I'm also pretty skeptical about the combat usage- anyone ran across mention of these in any other sources? I've read of sled-type vehicles used for transport, but for combat??
I find this line- "They sneaked into the enemy's rear area both singly and in combat groups."- next to impossible to believe! I'd imagine those engines would make one hell of a racket. And over anything close to open (snowy) terrain, where sound carries very well- how would they sneak anywhere, let alone through enemy lines?
Again- intersting stuff as always, Kai.
