    Hey guys, my real name is Brandon I found this forum through WW2.org. I'm a US Army EOD tech and as my username implies I know a bit about EOD's history and quite a lot of US and foreign ordnance. Any questions you might have regarding EOD or the munitions used in past wars and current wars feel free to ask and I'll give you the quickest reply I can! A little background on myself I consider myself a history buff and I am pursuing a degree in history, and a 4th generation soldier dating back to WW2, which is what got me interested in the war. I can't say there's any particular subject that interests me most, but I do like learning about the doctrine used by all sides and first person accounts from any side or period of the war. That just about does it for me, I'll be seeing you guys around the forums!

    This is awesome, thanks for sharing! I know a lot of the guys at the shop would be interested in seeing this and I'll see if I can dig up any other declass manuals we got lying around and try and get them online for you guys.

    I'll put them on Hyperwar if you allow.

    The Bombs.pdf was a big hit in several European and Asian countries. I rode with a French EOD team once. They were dealing with the ordnance that surfaced in farmers' fields every Spring. Lovely loud noises.
