not answering your question but still...to be fair i dont think there were many "non useful officers" in the Wehrmacht at this time. it was desperate for officers after the bleeding of troops on the Ostfront.

I'd say at the start of the war the Wehrmacht was the best trained. the panzers were not too good and their sucess relied on the superier tactics [Blitzkrieg].

In "Encyclopedia Of German Tanks Of World War Two" by Peter Chamberlain and Hilary Doyle it mentions "platypus tracks" in the supplementary armour appendix. What were these tracks? not being an expert they look like normal tracks.

Does anyone have any photos of the 88mm FlaK employed in an AT role?

does anyone know where i can get this speech in full if poss?

Some of the SS divisions have the names of historical personalities. does anyone know who they were and what they did?

does anyone know the name of the police in Spain under Franco who wore a three cornered hat and carried rifles?

i got the crappy dubbed "Stalingrad". i cant find an undubbed version.

i think in Stalingrad they mentioned panzer tanks. i read a thread about wheter this was accurate. it was a while back so i doubt it will still be there.

What was the worst looking "panzer" in a war film? i think the tanks in Battle Of The Bulge are ridiculous!
