Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII
I heard it was either his class ring or his wedding ring, I guess depending on who you ask. I was going to accept anything about a ring.
Your turn.

You are probably thinking Sumatra rather than Java but, in the 40's the main oil fields were on Java along with the refineries. DEI is Dutch East Indies the name of the islands now making up modern day Indonesia. Since this is a WW 2 board I went with WW 2 names. |

Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII

Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII
Ok, other than caliber, what was unusual and differentiated Soviet artillery battalions in their infantry divisions from those of other nations?

Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII
Another "WAG",
I've heard/read the Russians did have/use the most artillery of any combatant in WW 2, and "of course" artillery did account for the biggest percentage of combat casualties.
I've also heard/read that their barrages were the least (per gun/round) effective at hitting desired targets.
Don't misunderstand here, they were devastating (especially later on), it's just that a similar positive (on time-on target) result could've been achieved with fewer guns/rounds. Leaving more units/ammunition for elsewhere.
So they needed, perhaps better communication/observation/correction, to be on "Par" with their counterparts ?

Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII
It has nothing to do with tactics or operations but with orgainzation. Look at a TO&E

Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII
Large bore artillery was organizied into seperate units, independent of manuevering units? Smaller guns (45mm & 76mm) were carried by infantry divisions and could be fired in a line-of-site, direct fire role?

Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII
No but, it does have something to do with the caliber of gun being used in a sense.
