If so, me and Larry Vickers have been smoking from the same pipe. That might be, but the Allies did run into fierce resistance upon landing in...
I don't see it as quite a ways from it, considering that single battles can turn the tides of war. The StG could have, by allowing the Germans...
Ofcourse the StG was never going to change anything all by itself, the only point I've been trying stress is that it could've perhaps provided...
I think you're beginning to realize that water-cooled or not, a WW1 machine gun barrel will not survive 20,000 rounds of WW1 ammunition being...
Source for what, the available manpower ? (Can be found almost anywhere) Or for SS Wiking's first achievements with the StG ? (Mkb42) [Peter R....
Ofcourse it would take time if they were to make use of the StG's absolute full potential, that is not the point however, the point is that;...
Part of their training? I think it's pretty obvious such a thing will never be part of training. As for being worried about detention; pretty...
Rusty? The word 'opslijten' = 'worn-out', is uttered quite clearly a number of times.
I think you got the wrong idea as to what this is about. It's certainly not about making anyone happy by spitting out random numbers. That's...
When'ever you're on exercises with foreign military units then you strive to do everything exactly by the book, so that's a poor example...
I'm not sure artillery was the biggest killer in WWII, it is generally given that honor in regards to wars fought in the Napoleonic era, where...
So we've gone from 10,000,000 to 1,000,000 ? That's quite a leap... I'd say that on all fronts the Germans had some 4.5 to 5.5 million men in...
Let's get some things straight here. Here's what I NEVER claimed: A) That the Springfield M1903 in general only has a useful barrel life of...
What difference does it make wether it was a MG74 or a MG3 Jeager? Not much I'd assume. Like I said I can't remember if it was one or the other,...
Formerjughead, posting ID papers will not verify wether the barrel of a MG3 will be ruined in under 1,000 rounds of non-stop fire or not. Neither...
Had the Germans fielded the Me262 a little earlier, in the right role as an air-superiority-fighter and in higher numbers, whilst having enough...
10,000,000 at any one given time ?? You're joking right? In 1941 when Germany invaded Russia it was with a strength of some 3.4 million German...
Well my ID will be very hard to find, if at all it's in my house and not back at 'home'. All I've got readily available from my time in the...
You want me to provide papers from nearly 30 years ago? That'll be hard, esp. seeing I'll have to scour the attic for it.
Reportedly the StG44 was a favorite of troops on the eastern front not only because of the enormous firepower it provided them, but because it...
