Yeah, see: YouTube - Topping off an M1 Garand and YouTube - Loading and Reloading the the M1 Garand And the ping isn't very audible either....
Eh. Once again the Mail tells an inadequete story. Wikipedia has a more complete article - British Free Corps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia...
There's doubtlessly a strong non-military reason - many of those units are prestige units, that are expected to represent the best of aryan...
Yeah, this very thread has the info. Wikipedia has more. Basically didn't realise that other losses included people informally discharged for...
Oh, you mean direct appeals by captured generals? Well, I guess the only one captured by the western allies roughly equivalent to Paulus was von...
Well, it's pretty much all of the above. Looking at soviet losses, about half were KIA, and the rest were taken as POWs and then killed. For the...
What exactly justifies this cherry picking? Woah. And you're telling me you aren't a nazi apologist, whilst spouting their old genocidal...
Maybe I'm a little confused or something, but the DeLisle and so on are for SOE units, not standard military. And they do assassinate, as well as...
My guess is that it's an arming component from some sort of naval mine. The timer is set so that the ship laying the mine can safely get away...
Cripes, another Nazi German apologist. Where the heck do they come from? Look, the biggest sufferer in WWII was allied civilians. Followed by...
Wow, way to read the thread.
I don't think it's a fair comparison. The 17pdr had greatly superior penetration properties to the american 76. (140 vs 93 standard ammo, 203 vs...
The Germans didn't just kill Jews, you do realise? By numbers, the Germans killed a lot more ordinary Russians than Jews. Numbers of POWs taken...
Hmm, my impression is that at least at Normandy, the Germans rated the British and Canadians as more dangerous than the americans. This can be...
Vlasov was very, very naive. Ultimately Hitler was ideologically opposed to the existence of the Russian people, and by choosing to overlook this,...
Eh. People in Austria will disagree.
Re: The Sherman question, hmm, okay, maybe I sounded more certain than I should be. I'm sure I've seen stuff somewhere, but now I can't find it. Doh.
Are you sure? I can find neither of these figures. Can you give a page/section reference?
Is any category other than category 4 at all important though? The primary role of the destroyer was in ASW, at least in the Atlantic. Whatever...
That's true - certainly I've read some testimonials from Russian lend-lease tank users suggesting the T34 had worse spalling effects compared to...
