Awesome War Dept film comparing German and American firepower to ease the minds of new soldiers going into combat.

Enjoy!

 

ETA: Check this guy's YouTube Channel for more US Army films from WWII. Very cool stuff.

Best is the film solely on the mg as it terrified troops

Great film! I still think a lot of American soldiers nearly $h!t themselves the first time they found themselves on the wrong end of an MG42!

Hell, I'd shit myself the first time I faced any weapon fired at me by a trained enemy*...

 

 

 

*I have been shot at only once. I was standing next to my car talking to my partner someone shot 5 rounds at us hitting nothing. We identified it as incoming immediately but could not locate the source. To my credit, I didn't shit myself - I was too angry.

But, I think that's vastly different than knowingly going up against trained soldiers properly equipped for war. 

Great article on the MG42

Amazing to think how WWII was largely fought with sub machine guns and Garands/Mausers.

Guns kill, better guns kill more effectively

No. Guns don’t kill.

People kill.
