If v10lence isn't the answer to #Nazis capturing the #US #Government, then what the f#ck were American GI's doing in Nazi Germany in #WW2?

Fabulous talk at Bentley Priory #Museum 🏛 by Dom Pound 'Coastal Command 1939 - 1945'
Equipped with largely unsuitable aircraft Coastal Commands contribution to the Norwegian Campaign, Battle of Britain & disruption to Op Sealion plans are poorly recognised 🤔

#OTD in 1941 the Red Army began to rigidly control qualifications of tank commanders. Only a 1st or 2nd Lieutenant could command a medium tank, a company commander required the rank of Captain (or Major, if it was a heavy tank company). #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Trials of German 75 mm HEAT and 50 mm APCR ammunition against the T-34 finished #OTD in 1942. The conclusion was that spaced armour could protect the sides of the tank from these new threats. Unfortunately, heavier weapons were already in use by the time it was built. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

The T-60 tank might not have been impressive for its time, but it was crucial to the defense of Moscow in the fall-winter of 1941. #OTD in 1941 Malyshev successfully petitioned for permission to repurpose non-tank factories to produce these tanks. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

The Medium Tank M3A1 was standardized #OTD in 1941. The upper hull of these tanks was cast instead of joined together with rivets. This made it easier to produce and gave it greater resistance under fire at the cost of extra weight. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
