Stalingrad battle was one of the toughest in history. I heard many stories from veterans of that combat at school in Russia.

Well, their stories were really frightening. They were not about heroism of Red Army(which politicians usually tell), they were about the horrific tortures that the German soldiers had arranged. These stories were about the fear of death. People did not know if they would survive until tomorrow. Once veteran told us that Germans captured his friend, while they were on night watch. And he spend the whole night, listening to the horrific cries of his friend. but he wasn`t able to save him. Edited September 12, 2018 by Daniel_defo 1 Quote Link to post

F.W 5,652 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Oh,and the onslaught of about 50,000 of these.T-34 tanks.By the near end of the war outnumbered the panzers by about 8 to 1.They could produce 10 of these for every 1 panzer made. Even while the battles of Stalingrad,or Leningrad were raging,they were being made in the same city,unfinshed and driven to the front. This is a 1943 model,with a 76mm gun,later version had a 85mm gun,more able to take on the more heavier but less effective,more cumbersome,panzers. 2 Quote Link to post

F.W 5,652 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I think in WW2 many innovations were copied quickly by the enemies.Like the German StG 44 rifle (Sturmgewehr)was the inspiration behind the AK47.. 1 Quote Link to post

F.W 5,652 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) The German Maschinegewehr 42(MG 42).Introduced around 1942-43 as the replacement for the previous MG34,infantry squad support,this weapon was made of stamped pressings,much simpler to produce.Also much more robust in the field,being less likely to be fouled by dirt and mud than its predecessor. Used in infantry squads,1 per squad,of about 12 men in support.Probably very deadly when used in defensive position. It was infamous among Allied troops who called it "Hitlers buzzsaw",with its rate of fire up to 1200 rpm.This would require the barrel to be changed which could be done quite easily.Troops were trained to not fire in long ammunition wasting bursts,but shorter bursts.It could be used on a tripod,or its own bipod.Either loaded with a small round magazine,for A.A use,or belt fed,with a loader. Weighing around 25ibs slightly lighter than the MG 34,about 4 1/2 feet in length.Calibre 7.92mm. Photographs show a crew from the elite "Grossdeutschland" Panzer Division,on the Eastern Front,using the tripod.The shoulder straps have in gothic lettering the initials"GD",for Grossdeutschland,also on the right sleeve the title "Grossdeutschland",Waffen-SS divisions,such as the "Hohenstaufen",9th SS Pz-Div,wore a simliar title on the sleeve.It fought exclusively on the E.Front..Also,some Fallschirmjager,Paratroops,fighting at Monte Cassino in Italy.By this stage in 1943-44,the Fallschirmjager were really used as infantry,Hitler forbade large scale Airborne assaults after the battle of Crete in 1941,in which they suffered losses of about 25%,some small scale drops were done,such as an attempt to capture Marshal Tito in Yugoslavia,and during the opening of the Ardennes attack,which was abortive.
