Civilian Structures As Military Restrictions the Sudden Transition to Heavy Tanks in Sweden
vulcan 5 (2017) 42-63 brill.com/vulc Civilian Structures as Military Restrictions The Sudden Transition to Heavy Tanks in Sweden Petter J. Wulff Apeltunet 7, 181 48 Lidingo, Sweden [email protected] Abstract The military community is a secluded part of society and normally has to act on the conditions offered by its civilian surroundings. When heavy vehicles were developed for war, the civilian infrastructure presented a potential restriction to vehicular mobil- ity. In Sweden, bridges were seen as a critical component of this infrastructure. It took two decades and the experiences of a second world war for the country to come to terms with this restriction. This article addresses the question as to why Swedish tanks suddenly became much heavier in the early 1940s. The country’s bridges play a key role in what happened, and the article explains how. It is a story about how a military deci- sion came to be outdated long before it was upgraded. Keywords tanks – infrastructure – transition In the 1920s and 30s, Sweden produced and imported various forms of armored vehicles—primarily so-called ‘tanks’—which had been spectacularly intro- duced in The Great War. In the case of tank technology, however, a sudden shift occurred in the early 1940s. Within a year Swedish tank weights doubled and never returned to earlier levels. Such a drastic shift is not a normal part of technological development, or at least cannot be explained by any sudden change in tank technology itself. The sudden deviation from a more gradual development path calls for an answer as to what made the shift occur. -

Using these tables, much stress can be avoided by tank crews, as these clever systems, designed by top Soviet Roleplaying Engineers beyond the Ural Mountains, allow the automation of previously difficult choices which could paralyze a man with indecision! The Operation of the d66 Table is simple, and will pose no great challenge to the clever Soviet crewman. -
GURPS WWII Classic
World War II raged from the deserts of North Africa to the jungles of the South Pacific, from the mountaintops of the Alps to the beaches of Normandy, across (and under) the high seas, and through the skies above it all. Soldiers in all of these places relied upon the machines of war: bombers, fighters, tanks, jeeps, ships, submarines, landing craft, and much more. GURPS WWII: Motor Pool has a huge variety of historically accurate vehicles from mankind’s greatest conflict. Many of the vehicles were common; others were rare or even unique. From the stodgy General Lee tank to the earliest helicopters and the wildly impractical Maus, Motor Pool has tons of new gear for every GURPS WWII player. Motor Pool also gathers in one place all the refinements to the vehicle design system that have evolved since the original corebook came out, as well as a new system to describe any WWII-era conveyance in a few simple steps. These additions include scores of new weapons to be fitted on your war machines – some historical and some products of the imagination. On top of all that, Motor Pool has advice on S how to integrate vehicles into a roleplaying T E campaign, with details on how vehicle crews V really lived and fought, from the difficulties of E supply to getting their machine moving at all. J A Whether you’re campaigning by land, by sea, or C by air, Motor Pool dramatically expands your K options! S O N . AGAINST HEAVY METAL!

The Soviet-German Tank Academy at Kama
The Secret School of War: The Soviet-German Tank Academy at Kama THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ian Johnson Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Master's Examination Committee: Jennifer Siegel, Advisor Peter Mansoor David Hoffmann Copyright by Ian Ona Johnson 2012 Abstract This paper explores the period of military cooperation between the Weimar Period German Army (the Reichswehr), and the Soviet Union. Between 1922 and 1933, four facilities were built in Russia by the two governments, where a variety of training and technological exercises were conducted. These facilities were particularly focused on advances in chemical and biological weapons, airplanes and tanks. The most influential of the four facilities was the tank testing and training grounds (Panzertruppenschule in the German) built along the Kama River, near Kazan in North- Central Russia. Led by German instructors, the school’s curriculum was based around lectures, war games, and technological testing. Soviet and German students studied and worked side by side; German officers in fact often wore the Soviet uniform while at the school, to show solidarity with their fellow officers. Among the German alumni of the school were many of the most famous practitioners of mobile warfare during the Second World War, such as Guderian, Manstein, Kleist and Model. This system of education proved highly innovative. During seven years of operation, the school produced a number of extremely important technological and tactical innovations. Among the new technologies were a new tank chassis system, superior guns, and - perhaps most importantly- a radio that could function within a tank. -

THE KINGTIGER PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Thomas L. Jentz,Hilary L. Doyle,Peter Sarson,Lee Johnson | 48 pages | 28 Jan 1993 | Bloomsbury Publishing PLC | 9781855322820 | English | Osprey, United Kingdom The Kingtiger PDF Book Orders were placed for 1, Tiger IIs—slightly more than the 1, Tiger I tanks produced—but production was severely disrupted by Allied bombing raids. To get the Captured King Tiger you need to:. Two were lost in combat, while the company commander's tank became irrecoverably trapped after falling into a bomb crater created during Operation Goodwood. Sturmartillerie and Panzerjager — No No Pivot. Early Tiger IIs proved unreliable, owing principally to leaking seals and gaskets, and an overburdened drive train originally intended for a lighter vehicle. The Tiger II was the successor to the Tiger I , combining the latter's thick armour with the armour sloping used on the Panther medium tank. If power was lost, such as when the tank ran out of fuel, the turret could be slowly traversed by hand, assisted by the loader who had an additional wheel, which could manually rotate the turret at a rate of one-half a degree per each revolution of the hand crank i. Art Videos Soundtrack. British Armour in the Normandy Campaign, Pros and Cons Pros: - Same armor layout as the original Tiger II with top turret, which proved to be very strong against tier 7 opponents - High penetrating gun for its tier, able to penetrating any opponents it face when placed at the top tier in a match - High view range, can snipe rather well - Cheap ammunition cost; good credit earner Cons: - Low HP pool for its size , vulnerable against SPGs - Shared the same weakspot as the original Tiger II, lower plate and side armor were an obvious weakspots - Overall mobility is horrid!
