Now I understand, thanks. So Germany even asked Venezuelian citizens to enlist in their army? I knew that they where desperate but asking non-occupied countries to supply troops..

No he was just answered the call in late 1939; bet there were many stuff going through his head. He told me that, that was the worst decision he made on his life.

Yeah that part was a major fuck up. It was better when they showed the afterwards that he left a Hitlejubend soldier alive, and the frickin cigarrete was burning through his finger.

Also, they werent the only ones doing that, every country that had foreign colonies did that, Belgium, France, England, Germany.... And when the volenteers stopped, the drafting began.


Completely oftopick detail that this post made me remeber, in rwanda the childeren arent tough in school why they became a belgian colony (and the whole opression thing began) they just tell them that Germany had a debt that they had to pay so they were traided, while the real reasen was that they lost world war 1 and that it was a compensation to belgium.

I still dont understand why they kept fielding those tin cans late into the war. They were terriblly obsolete in the 30's. France had tanks of that caliber in ww1 for christs sake.

well.........
HEY

JAPAN WAS THE FIRST COUNTRY TO USE DIESEL ENGINES ON THEIR TANKS!

Funny how Sherman tank crews used HE ammo instead of AP ammo against tanks.....because it barely did any damage and simply flew trough the front and back

Japan saw the Use of tanks pretty limited.

They could only use tanks on China, Japan and a couple of Islands.

Unlike Germany, USSR, UK, USA, etc, they decided to put more effort, if not all, on building a Navy.

To win the Pacific War, you need a navy, and a strong one. Japan had enough Ports and Companys that could  build Ships maintain and keep producing.

Also they had a pretty decent airforce, with good Companys making them.

Tanks in china? well, field a thousand or something yes, you'll need tanks there, since the Chinese doesnt have any tanks to face the Japs in a Kursk Style battle, Heavy guns ,etc.

Philliphines? yes, well, kinda, you'll need a Thousand or something.

Burma? Hell no!

Sigapore? YES!, thats why japan won the battle for the entire peninsula. There were wooden bridges, and the allies dindt expected tanks there, and the Light weight of the IJA tanks made it across bridges, striking fast.

The Japs developed heavier tanks in late war, some good tanks and others were still shitty.

I remember the japs used to have a pretty good Tank Destroyer, enough to bring down the Sherman..

But yeah, they Focused, on land, more on infantry.. and they had good one!

I don't mean the first, I'm not questioning it.  But I mean the second.  Now if it is snapped be a news reel guy, that would explain why its common on the net...means your grandfather is a star of sorts.

Star? Meh, theres plenty of pictures like look like that. Bet I could just write german soldier and 10000000+ with the same phose will appear somewhere.

And grandpa told me that after 2 hours of the photo, commies attacked!!!!

Actually, I know the pic too, it is the unit picture for the mG42 HMG in Steel Panthers  ;D
