Book Synopsis United States Vs. German Equipment HQ by : Isaac D. White
Download or read book United States Vs. German Equipment HQ written by Isaac D. White and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-06-18 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Merriam Press Military Monograph 240 (High Quality Edition: Printed on quality paper for better reproduction of photos). Seventh Edition (December 2011). This is a newly-produced reprint of a mimeographed report by Maj. Gen. Isaac D. White, Commanding General, 2nd Armored Division, produced in March 1945 for General Eisenhower at his request after he had seen accounts attributed to armored forces GIs who considered American tanks very inferior in quality to those of the Germans. As an aside he also requested comparisons in other types of equipment such as half-tracks, light tanks, trucks, guns, bazookas, and even clothing and rations. The resulting report includes General White's own opinions, plus the opinions of over 150 officers and enlisted men. There is also a report on the characteristics of the German Mark V tank. The reading of this report will be a significant "eye-opener" for every World War II historian, wargamer, model builder, and buff. In reading this report, you'll wonder how we managed to win the war in Europe at all, with such a mediocre tank as the Sherman. This is one of the most fascinating reports you will ever read. Contents: Introduction; Digest of Opinions of Tank Officers and Crews of 66th and 67th Armored Regiments; Comparison of United States Equipment with Similar German Equipment; Personal Convictions of Individual Officers and Enlisted Men of the 2nd Armored Division as to Comparison of German versus American Armor and Equipment; Characteristics of the German Mark V Tank. 63 photos, 2 illustrations, 1 table.

Book Synopsis German Combat Equipments 1939–45 by : Gordon L. Rottman
Download or read book German Combat Equipments 1939–45 written by Gordon L. Rottman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-08-20 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field equipment of the German Army in World War II was closely related to that used throughout World War I and earlier, yet it was of relatively light weight, ruggedly constructed, well designed, functional, and generally of a high quality, though this deteriorated in the later war years. A high degree of design standardisation was maintained in most categories of equipment, though materials and their colours often varied widely. There were also many different specialisations for the various arms of service as well as theatres of combat, such as the Afrikakorps in the Western Desert. This title investigates all manner of German combat equipments throughout World War II, from belt buckles to magazine pouches.

Book Synopsis The German Army in the First World War by : Jürgen Kraus
Download or read book The German Army in the First World War written by Jürgen Kraus and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 639 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kraus Jürgen, Verlag Militaria , Austria , 2004 (English) Massive and wonderful, this 640 page tome in English is not just a helmet book. Everything from uniforms, hats, ammo pouches to mess tins are covered. The photographs are simply outstanding and the text goes where no text has gone before. The sheer breadth of topics is overwhelming. The approach is museum like and the proof is there. The English language version is just fine. The translation works it is not like babelfish. Much of the photo lexicon is based around "Probe" tagged items. These were examples placed in the Army museum at Rastatt. By having the example a standard could be made for that specific producer of that item. The pictures in the book mainly come from Rastatt and the Bavarian Army Museum. This is a look at the field uniform and equipment. The author envisions several volumes to deal with other parts of the Imperial German army. There are tons of period photos backing up the artifacts. This is 1914-1918 so wartime. Ersatz and wartime helmets are shown in a detail offered no where else. There are 4 main sections to the book 1. Development of the field gray uniform 2. The basic items of uniform 3. Uniforms and insignia of branches of service. Biggest part not based on regiment but branch. 4. Equipment. There is never enough in the write ups but the author admits there is too much subject. I will continue to read but this is amazing. There is a qualitative difference between the books published by Verlag Militaria and other publishers. Verlag Militaria books are so much higher quality. The books by Schiffers are attractive but do not contain the quality in the narration, pictures, or research provided by Verlag Militaria. This is wartime unlike some of the other books from by Verlag Militaria which cover the prewar only.

Book Synopsis Deutsche Luftwaffe by : Santiago Guillen
Download or read book Deutsche Luftwaffe written by Santiago Guillen and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2013-07-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When World War II began, Germany's Luftwaffe was the most powerful air force yet seen, achieving victory after victory in tandem with the German Army. But as other great powers rose to combat Hitler, the supremacy of the Me-109, Stuka, and Focke-Wulf soon began to pale before vast fleets of Allied warplanes which German industry could hardly match. Nevertheless, while "flying till they died," Luftwaffe pilots continued to write a record of heroism and innovation, until at the very end of the war they nearly gained the edge again with their aces flying the world's first jet fighter, the Me-262. In this large, lavishly illustrated, full-color work we gain an intimacy with the daily life of Luftwaffe pilots as never seen before. From their uniforms to equipment to everyday sundries, drawn from incredible collections of memorabilia, we can share their experiences on airfields or in the very skies of Europe, above the dark cause which unfortunately they served.

Book Synopsis Why the Axis Lost by : John Arquilla
Download or read book Why the Axis Lost written by John Arquilla and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-02-28 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The factors leading to the defeat of the Axis Powers in World War II have been debated for decades. One prevalent view is that overwhelming Allied superiority in materials and manpower doomed the Axis. Another holds that key strategic and tactical blunders lost the war--from Hitler halting his panzers outside Dunkirk, allowing more than 300,000 trapped Allied soldiers to escape, to Admiral Yamamoto falling into the trap set by the U.S. Navy at Midway. Providing a fresh perspective on the war, this study challenges both views and offers an alternative explanation: the Germans, Japanese and Italians made poor design choices in ships, planes, tanks and information security--before and during the war--that forced them to fight with weapons and systems that were too soon outmatched by the Allies. The unprecedented arms race of World War II posed a fundamental "design challenge" the Axis powers sometimes met but never mastered.
Book Synopsis Forging the Shield by : Donald A. Carter
Download or read book Forging the Shield written by Donald A. Carter and published by Department of the Army. This book was released on 2015 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This illustrated book that includes tables, charts, and maps primarily discusses the role of USAREUR (US Army Europe) in rearming and training the new German Army which was perhaps the Army's single greatest contribution toward maintaining security in Western Europe. Likewise, the relationship between American soldiers and their French and West German hosts evolved over time and is a critical element in telling the story of the US Army in Europe.
