Rare photo with Officer of Fallsch.Pz.Division"Herman Goring". :lol:
Parachute Tank division??????

Old uncle Hermann coined this name after consecutive dose of morphine... :D

Hermann Goering division had only modest 2 battalion tank regiment.
The only paras were battalion called Divisional School of Fighting.
From the name many legends arised making HG division the strongest German unit on both fronts. In reality just an average for summer 1944.

That's all for today. I tried to made captions funny, but would like to point that all the photos show normal people, ordinary servicemen in many situations. They are great for someone which is trying to understand WWII
in many perspectives. (Human one is perhaps the most important).

Good evening, honorable ladies and gentlemen. Sorry for my protracted silence, but that ill-fated, personally indeed painful hard-disc crash that occurred almost a month ago was a… very challenging phenomenon, if I may say so!

[Librarian]

Unfortunately, my dear Mr. Panzerknacker, this time we are not facing giant officers and midget soldiers. Depressing verity is that those German combatants actually are the members of the very last available German human reserve – 14 and 15 years-old kid recruits of the Wehrmacht. :(

[Panzerknacker]

Yes, sad but true.

Did you notice the Panzerkampfwagen V Panther Ausführung G with Stahllaufrollen shown just after the pictures which show the tank transport via train? (Minute 6+ )
Since when had those been produced?

[Panzerknacker]

Ja

Quote to self in the Pz V topic.

Panther Ausf G with steel-rimmed road-wheels.

Originally, it was planned to manufacture model Ausf G with steel-rimmed road-wheels (instead of previously used rubber-rimmed road-wheels), the all steel stamped wheels would save manufacturing tim, but in 1944 only small series of 24 was produced.

And one fantastic picture of the all steel wheel G in the front, this Panther had already entered in combat as in noted in the 3 killmark painted near the muzzle of powerful Kwk 42. Note that one of the external roadwheel has been replaced with the standar rubber tired model.

The Second World War still has weighs on many people, more than 60 years after it came to an end. As we all know, honorable ladies and gentlemen, real war is not a game – and war's real costs and consequences never can be declared sufficiently and apparently. Sorrow is the natural human response to death, and the full factographic expression of the verity of war may be war's most natural and effective deterrent.

This rare color photography is a truth force that says: "This is what war looks like". Simply and undeniably.

[Librarian]

As we all know, honorable ladies and gentlemen, winter is a bed time for fighting. The nights are freeying cold, the ice-cold rain or snow seldom lets up, the battlefields are oceans of mud, or frozen snow-slurry…

The stakes of the winter battle are large and the losses are bound to be dramatically heart-rending. But perhaps there is nothing more dramatic in entire military history of the world than the stunning assault of the cold on the Wehrmacht in the Russian Campaigne.

The magnificent weather which favoured the German offensive at dawn on October 2nd 1941 was followed, a few days later, by a long period of rains, sometimes mixed with snow. From October 20 onward, the German armies were literally wading in the mud of the steppes. Off the roads the terrain was generally impassible and, with rare exceptions, the roads themselves were dreadful sloughs where vehicles were seen to completely disappear. All the rivers were in flood, which made it a long and difficult operation to repair the countless bridges that the Soviets had destroyed in their retreat.

There is abundant photographic evidence to illustrate this phase of the campaign and it shows mud up to the hubs of German vehicles, up to the bellies of their horses, and over the knees of their soldiers. Suddenly, the drop of temperature was far greater than expected, and was untolerable toward the realization of the tasks required by OKW. On November 12, the temperature was -12 degrees of Centigrade, the following day -13 degrees and, on December 4, the mercury fell to unbearable -35 degrees with a strong north-east wind that made the biting cold even more painful. As we all know, winter equipment was ordered too late, delayed on its way to the front by the effect of the cold on German locomotives... Badly worn by five months in the field, the clothing of the German soldier was, in any case, not at all suitable for the rigors of the Russian winter... This rare color photo, however, speaks for itself about those well known conditions.

The crew of a PzKpfw III is trying to melt out the frozen mud around their tank by bucketing hot water – December 1941, vicinity of Mozhaisk, photo taken by Dr Eugen Ott

Due to lack of antifreeze German engines had to be left running all the time, which meant a considerable increase in engine wear, as well as significantly augmented fuel consumption. Crampons for the tank tracks had not yet reached the front, and the tracks were too narrow to carry the tanks over the deep snow. Automatic arms jammed during combat and guns did not recoil properly after firing. Parts made out of synthetic, butadiene-sodium based German Buna-rubber, became friable and took on the consistency of wood. In these conditions, the motorised army-supply columns were able to cover only 20 miles a day, or even less...

Auxiliary horse transportation companies, hurriedly prescribed by German headquaters and applied on a spur of the moment by German troops were only a temporarily solution, because the army's livestock suffered terribly too. It was generally unknown that the German horse does not have the same resistance to the harsh Russian climate as his Russian cousin, who was accustomed to scratch out grass with his hoof.

It was in the depth of winter, and the march of the transportation columns through the heavy, snowy roads, were very trying and wearisome; But the soldiers and animals endured all… somehow.

[Major Walter Schmidt]

Were did you get those?

[Librarian]

You mean those color pictures from the German winter campaign, mein lieber Herr Major? They are originating from a half-forgotten Yugoslavian edition of the "Picture History of World War II", printed in 1970 by „Mladinska Knjiga”, Ljubljana under the license provided by American Heritage Publishing Inc., and originally published in English in 1966 (pp. 276-277).

This one, however, derives from the page 349:

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a137/Langnasen/GermanInfantryonmarchUSSR-1941.jpg

Advancing German infantry – USSR, September 1941.

BTW: I think that I have seen before that highly appealing signature of yours... If I remembered that well, it was created by a truly remarkable and absolutely unique personality, who was my personal adviser about German armored vehicles – a genuine, matchless celebrity of the German part of the Internet, who always signed his posts with that distinctive expression "Mit besten Schwermetallgrüßen"… Are we, by any chance, honored with his personal visitation here, my dear Herr Major? :)

what kind of tank is the one with the "muzzle art"? strange how its foccused on all the places unlike normal, in wich you can focus only on one. usualy the tank would be a blur with the focus on the muzzle.

That's a very interesting photograph.

The sldrs don't have cuff titles which would normally indicate they've not passed off the square.
No oversmocks so it may mean it's dated from pre-war until the end of the Polish campaign in '39, or it's of lads in trg.
There again, drawing on arty shells when in trg seems odd too.
It's definitely a propaganda shot so maybe the snapper used recruits as they were the nearest troops.
There is so much that is open to conjecture.
Have you any more information about the date, location, etc ?

That was better than what I thought; I initially thought the Russian soldier was throwing a pie at a German. :roll:

[pdf27]

Is this real? Which one of the soldiers can consider himself more lucky?
The quality is too good to be genuine action footage. Most likely it is a training film - among the weapons issued to the British Home Guard were bags of pepper intended to be thrown in the enemy's face. Since the thing being thrown appears soft and to give off a big cloud of dust, and the thrower is wearing a Brodie helmet, I think that is the most likely explanation.

[RifleMan20]

and the brick appears to disappear at the end so maybe not real.

[Walther]

Unfortunately, my dear Mr. Panzerknacker, this time we are not facing giant officers and midget soldiers. Depressing verity is that those German combatants actually are the members of the very last available German human reserve – 14 and 15 years-old kid recruits of the Wehrmacht. :(

My history teacher in 9-10th grade was one of them. At the age of 15 he was issued a rifle in already surrounded Berlin and ordered to take on the Red Army. The result of this deployment was that he lost both eyes through a Russian tank shell (he told us that the last thing he saw was a T-34 coming around a street corner. Then it fired and apparently a fragment of the shell entered one temple, exiting on the other side, cutting the visual nerves to both eyes. He was the youngest Wehrmacht soldier blinded in WW2). During his stay in hospital and recovery, he became very disillusioned with the Nazis. He still managed to finish school with the Abitur exams and later earned a PhD in history, before becoming a school teacher. Dr. Liepe, I don't know if you are still alive, it has been more than 20 years, but you have been the best history teacher I ever had. You taught us how to THINK and to evaluate sources critically.

Jan

[Librarian]

Oh, I am sure that he was more than able to understand those heartless lessons of history, my dear Mr. Walther. Yes, history did not happen to us because it was bound to happen in that way, nor yet did it happen by accident either. It happened because the people of history behaved in the way they did in the light, or the darkness of their consciousness. And the future will not happen in a predictable and inevitable manner, nor will it come as sightless accident – it will come as we, in our consciousness of historical freedom, fashion it on our own responsibility.

After all – that’s why we are here. :)

And now, something new and – most probably! – much more cheerful:
