>>34682256
From the Israelis perspective, he was definitely worth the shekels and had no Jewish blood on his hands.

From his perspective, pulling a few jobs for Mossad got him off their shit list despite being a hardcore Nazi who was deeply involved with Odessa.

I bloke I know once told me about how his dad went into a pub in Yorkshire, where he lived, soonish after ww2 with some friends. Whilst inside drinking they overheard a number of old grizzled fellows swapping war stories. One of his number, filled with beer-induced bravado, then wandered over and asked:
>"Which war were this, then? The Great War?"
One of the old men then removed his pipe from his mouth and said:
>"Nay lad. This were t'Boer War!"
(All dialogue is spoken in a broad Yorkshire accent)

If you are talking about the thing above the rightmost guy's pack, I think it is an air drop canister that has been repurposed. It looks like the cap joint has been sealed with electrical tape.

I talked with a MArine who served early in the war and he said they used to get airdropped canisters that were thrown out the plane with no parachute. The "log" fits his description.

I think it's a fiber for mortar rounds. They're made of cardboard with metal top and bottoms, with the lid sealed with tape. The black on the outside has mostly worn off. Looks about the right size for an 81mm. Here's a pic of some in WWII and they look the same today.

Honestly, the Grande Armée really ruined Europe, as Napoleon had the great idea of conscripting hoards of young french men, other European countries had to scramble to field a force suitable to counter it. Before this point most armies were fielded by professional mercenaries and used small-time conscription to fill the gaps. It was the event that allowed WWI & WWII to occur on such a large scale.

The really high rate of fire on the MG 42 was primarily for AA. Normal rate was lower and more reasonable.

They weren't perfect: they had many unique flaws that led to their defeat militarily. These are not them.

sounds like he's right. The size looks about right and you can see the metal end caps in the color pic.

Mortar story from that same Marine:
They would all stand around the mortar tube with a round in each hand and fire them as quickly as possible to get lots of ordinance flying before the first round landed. I forget (sorry) exactly how many they managed but it was well north of a dozen.

Chechen war was GOAT for aesthetic. Basically a Russia that was crawling out of the ashes of the Soviet Union. A mix mash of uniforms, weapons, etc. The early part of the War in Donbass on the rebel side is pretty close too.

The tradition originated in the Prussian army, there were so called "Totenkopfhusaren" - literally skull hussars (probably to look frightening). The tradition was passed on and since 1945, like many German military traditions, it is only continued by Chileans (Húsares de la Muerte de Angol).
