WWII in memory

nice beogam..... pada peringkat awal beogam/duckhunters di isu kan kepada pasukan darat di perbatasan Eropah, namun selepas beberapa kejadian kemalangan tertembak kawan sendiri kerana terlalu hampir sama dgn uniform waffen SS panzer dari kejauhan, pihak atasan menarik balik uniform ini dan di serahkan kepada Kor US Marin untuk perbatasan di pasifik.

WWII Russian Sniper
Snipers of the Soviet Union played an important role mainly on the Eastern Front of World War II, apart from other preceding and subsequent conflicts. In World War II, Soviet snipers used the 7.62x54R rifle cartridge with light, heavy, armour-piercing (B-30), armour-piercing-and-incendiary (B-32), zeroing-and-incendiary (P3), and tracer bullets. Most Soviet WWII snipers carried a combat load of 120 rifle cartridges in the field. Unlike the militaries of other nations, these snipers could be men or women. In 1943, there were over 2,000 women functioning in this role...

:: Sleeping Beauty ::

Motorised Submersible Canoe (MSC) nicknamed the 'Sleeping Beauty'. It was battery powered by an electric motor, had a top speed of 4.4 knots, and could travel for some 30 miles at a cruising speed of 3 knots. It was designed to carry up to three and a half pounds of explosives and, if necessary, to be dropped near its target by a heavy bomber. However these canoes were designed especially for operations from submarines. Up to 15 canoes could be carried in the boat's torpedo storage compartment. The pilot controlled the craft by a joystick, breathed through scuba gear, and would have to come close to the surface to establish his whereabouts. The canoe was brought along in the disastrous Operation Rimau in World War 2. These were only used operationally once, when two released from a British submarine sank two Japanese ships in Thailand's Phuket harbour.

kalau2 dipikirkan...WWII memang banyak membawa inovasi dalam peperangan..

:: THE RUHRSTAHL X-7 'ROTTKÄPPCHEN' ::



An altogether more elegant solution to the problem of killing tanks on the battlefield at something greater than suicidally close quarters (the main problem with the Panzerfaust and 'Panzerschreck') was put forward by Ruhrstahl. We have already encountered this company as the producers of the 'Fritz-X' guided bomb and the X-4 air-to-air guided missile, in response to HWA's request in 1944. The X-7 'Rottkäppchen' ('Red Riding Hood') was essentially similar in nature to the X-4 AAM, with its conventional HE warhead exchanged for a 2.5kg (5.51b) shaped charge, and with its control system cunningly simplified. Like the X-4, the X-7 was winged (two wings only, in this case, with parabolic leading and trailing edges, with spools from which the control wire paid out located at their tips) and revolved slowly in flight, both pitch and yaw being controlled by a single spade-like vane or fin mounted at the end of a curved arm which, when the missile was launched, hung down and behind the body. As the missile rotated (once again, at a rate of about one complete turn per second), this was able to exercise control over both pitch and yaw, a gyroscopic switch transferring the signals to actuate the simple spoiler as it turned from the vertical to the horizontal plane and so on, an elegant solution indeed.

The X-7 was powered by two WASAG solid-fuel rockets whose diglycol propellant was in the form of two concentric tubes. The first charge gave a thrust of 68kg (1501b) for two and a half seconds to launch the missile into flight and get it up to its 360km/h (224 mph) operating speed; the second gave 5.5kg (121b) of thrust for eight seconds (which was actually longer by a considerable margin than the flight was likely to last) to sustain it. Maximum range was to have been around 1200m (1310 yards). It is thought that a total of a few hundred Ruhrstahl X-7s were manufactured, and that most were consumed in testing, but there is some evidence to suggest that some made it into the field, and were expended in combat on the Eastern Front during 1945. There are unconfirmed reports that the X-7 performed satisfactorily, and was able to deal even with the JS-1 'Stalin' heavy tank, which was impervious to virtually everything else at anything over short range.
