Nice thread, although you should mention the FG42 as well.
The FG42 was barely issued, and if it was it was only used by paratroopers.
Ok yeah I'm going to bed I'm making various spelling mistakes.
The more you know.
Rated informative.
This is AWSOME more please
My granddad was a part of the Danish resistance against the german forces that occupied Denmark..
If I remember correctly, he used explosives or mines to take out nazi transports or nazi occupied houses.
I'll look into it later to see if I'm correct. This got me interested :v:

i don't really know of any big name WW2 games from american companies that focus on anything aside for the war, and pretty much never mention the holocaust.
Brothers in Arms, Company of Heroes, Medal of Honor, Call of Duty, all of these just focus on the war

of course company of heroes is canadian made but whatever

Originally invented by the Finns. The Soviets were so impressed by its rate of fire and sheer asskicking power that they adopted it, improved it and gave it another name.
My dad had to use them in the military because at the time Finland didn't have enough assault rifles in use.

Funfact; Finnish Police had them in stock incase of weapons shortage, they were taken out of service only couple of years ago.

I agree. The German uniforms in WWII were the coolest uniforms of any military ever.

Red Army time, time to piece this together.
Panzerfaust means tank fist, not armor fist.
This thread makes me want to play Red Orchestra.
No information on german load bearing gear?

Sorry no, only the things they wore and the weapons they used.
I know he pieced this together from wikipedia, but some of you guys seem to really be taking this too far. "YOU DIDN'T WRITE THIS, YOU LIED TO ME OVER THE INTERNET, I CAN NEVER TRUST YOU EVER AGAIN AND YOU ARE A HORRIBLE PERSON." :sigh: I think this is cool that he gathered all the relevant information into one thread.
