Morgan – I watched Battlefields today on The Military Channel, and they profiled The Battle of Berlin. Savage.

Next time anybody asks if there ever was a battle where men had to fight like animals simply to live regardless of victory or defeat, you can say there was Stalingrad.

Amazingly, there was one battle that surpassed even Stalingrad in its total brutality: The Battle of Berlin. A savage animal in pursuit of a wounded animal now cornered; guess what happens then.

kaveman – Would prove pretty damned useful in Stalingrad, though.

Operation Uranus?

Must.resist.urge .to.make.butthole.joke.

On a more serious side, I’m aware that the germans had a barrel attachment for their 98 Mausers that allowed them to shoot around corners but I’ve never heard of any german full-autos rigged up like this.

I’ve heard that these attachments would be completely worn through within 200-300 shots, which is fine for a bolt action rifle but not very practical for anything shooting full-auto.
