Panther Tanks of Panzer-Regiment 3, 2.Panzer-Division Or PANTHER / PUMA / PRIEN
Panther tanks of Panzer-Regiment 3, 2.Panzer-Division or PANTHER / PUMA / PRIEN by Hiroshi Kitamura, translated by Akira Takiguchi 2.Panzer-Division lead by Generalmajor Lübbe left the Ostfront after the heavy casualties it suffered from Kursk - Orel battles and subsequent retreat. On December 15, 1943, Hilter ordered the division to move to the OB West. The division arrived in northern France from December 21 on where they were subordinated to 15.Armee. The transportation finished on January 14, 1944. The division was placed under Panzergruppe West (translation omitted) I./Pz.Rgt.3 was equipped with Panther tanks. They moved for training to Mailly-le Camp by the end of January 1944 with their brand new weapon. During end of January and end of February, they received 79 Panthers and 2 Bergepanthers. The exact date is not known, but I.Abteilung returned to the division apparently mid-March. 2.Panzer-Division received 98 Panzer IVs between end of January and mid February. Records state that Panthers were sent to “I./3” and Panzer IVs were sent to “2.Pz.Div.”, since some Panzer IVs were used to equip regiment HQ while most of the Panzer IVs were used to equip II./Pz.Rgt.3.

Melania's Pith Helmet
Volume 10 (2019): Melania’s Pith Helmet: A Critical View of Her African Safari Relevant Rhetoric, Vol. 10 (2019): “Melania’s Pith Helmet” Terry Ownby Associate Professor Department of Communication, Media, and Persuasion Idaho State University [email protected] 2 Relevant Rhetoric, Vol. 10 (2019): “Melania’s Pith Helmet” Matt A.J. https://www.flickr.com/photos/cornstalker/ Barely entering the eighth month of his tumultuous and questionable presidency, Donald Trump found himself facing his amoral ambiguity on a televised global platform. After more than forty-eight hours had elapsed since the khaki-clad, tiki-torch wielding white nationalists marched across the University of Virginia campus and participated deadly violence the following day, Trump finally stepped in front of the cameras only to blame both sides of the racial conflict occurring in the rural hamlet of Charlottesville. His ambivalence and refusal to denounce overt racism perpetrated by his white populist base reinforced his public perception as being racist himself. Although Trump claims to be “the least racist person,” his words and actions over the decades speak for themselves.1 In a 2018 New York Times opinion article, David Leonhardt and Ian Prasad Philbrick assembled a conclusive list of his known racist comments.2 Thus, it could be that this notion of perception is really an actuality. Whether reality of “perception,” this aspect of the president taints those individuals within his orbits of influence, whether they are advisors, friends, or family. For some individuals and some news media outlets, assumptions might be made regarding those closest to the president, namely his family members. -
Fantasque Time Line | 1940
Il y a dix ans Les folles improvisations du terrible été 40 Par l’Ingénieur en chef de l’Armement Joseph Molinié, directeur de l’AMX Article publié dans le numéro de juillet/août 1950 du mensuel Techniques de l’Ingénieur Dans la première quinzaine de juin 1940, alors que le destin de la France se jouait à la fois sur les champs de bataille et dans l’ombre des cabinets ministériels, l’armée avait déjà perdu la quasi-totalité de son matériel moderne à Dunkerque. Les usines du Nord étaient occupées et celles de la Région parisienne sont en passe de l’être. Les machines-outils et les ouvriers se repliaient tant bien que mal sur les routes de l’exode ; certains ouvriers partaient même aux commandes des derniers engins produits en état de rouler pour gagner le sud. Quand, dans cette atmosphère de débâcle et de fin du monde, on apprit la décision du gouvernement de continuer la lutte jusqu’au bout, y compris en Afrique du Nord, un sursaut d’énergie organisatrice conduisit les responsables de tous niveaux à reprendre les plans de production et à recréer des usines dans des locaux de fortune pour relancer la production des moindres matériels susceptibles de ralentir l’avance allemande. Ce sursaut fit tache d’huile. Tous les moyens publics ou privés, industriels ou artisanaux, capables de découper, souder, meuler, percer, fraiser et riveter existant en France non encore occupée et qui n’étaient pas en cours d’évacuation furent mis à contribution pour blinder et armer tout ce qui était en état de rouler et d’être envoyé au front. -
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!

Flakpanzer Ostwind (East Wind)
Flakpanzer Ostwind (East Wind) The “Ostwind” was the last of a series of Flakpanzers (anti-aircraft tanks) based on the Panzer IV chassis to enter production, albeit in very small numbers. The “Ostwind” carried a single 3.7cm FlaK43 gun, which was rather more effective than the less powerful 2cm guns of the “Wirbelwind”, and also needed less space in the turret, as well as only needing a crew of two (gunner and loader) in place of the gunner and two loaders of the quadruple guns. Like the “Wirbelwind” the “Ostwind” had a distinctive angular turret, this time six sided, and with the gun emerging from a slot in the pointed front of the turret. After trials in July, on 18 August 1944 Ostbau were given a contract to produce 100 “Ostwind”. Less than half of these vehicles would be produced – the first fifteen of the eventual total of forty-three were completed in December 1944, far too late to have any impact on the war. The Trumpeter 1/35 kit has received some brutal reviews. As you’ve probably guessed they are related to the accuracy of the subject. The kit is basically the prototype version, but what I think has been missed by many is that this kit is a steal for what you get, and in the end it’s not that hard to convert it into the production version. The kit also includes a full interior and engine details. So although this isn’t a full build article I’ll show you what I did to convert it to the production variant. -

Hotchkiss H 35 1/35
1/35 HOTCHKISS H 35 81132 81132-076 F Au début des années 30, l’armée française n’a toujours pas trouvé de remplaçant pour le char FT qui est devenu obsolète. Les budgets d’armement sont en forte hausse car la situation internationale commence à se dégrader. Alors que les autorités militaires tardent à publier les spécifications pour un nouveau char, le directeur de la société HOTCHKISS va prendre l’initiative de rencontrer les membres de l’Etat-Major autour d’une maquette en plâtre pour leur montrer ce qu’ils peuvent attendre de la technologie militaire existant alors. C’est de ces entretiens que va naître le programme de chars légers. Dès lors cela va lui permettre de pouvoir présenter son avant-projet six semaines avant la publication du programme officiel, coiffant sur le poteau tous ses concurrents. Les desiderata de l’armée s’orientent vers un char léger de petite taille dont le poids ne doit pas excéder les cinq ou six tonnes. Il est d’ailleurs envisagé qu’il puisse s’agir d’un char casemate donc sans tourelle, pour l’alléger. Le programme de chars légers est publié le 2 août 1933 alors qu’ HOTCHKISS a déjà reçu une commande de trois prototypes plusieurs semaines auparavant. Les deux premiers sont présentés à la commission de Vincennes le 18 janvier 1935. Il s’agit de chars casemates dont la caisse est en acier moulé, ce qui est plutôt novateur pour l’époque. Mais ils ne répondent déjà plus aux nouvelles spécifications car entre-temps le nouveau canon de 25 mm est produit en série et sa munition perce aisément les 30 mm de blindage qui paraissaient bien suffisants un an plus tôt. -
Gbm : L’Index N° 1 Les 1000 Premières Pages
Index DU N° 74 AU N° 85 INCLUS GBM : L’INDEX N° 1 LES 1000 PREMIÈRES PAGES Vous livrant cet index à entrées multiples (par personnalité, par corps de troupe, par lieu, par type de matériel), je vous dévoile toute la mesure du projet — devenu réalité — représenté par GBM tel que je l’ai imaginé dès son premier numéro, le 74. De fait, le résultat dépasse mes espérances. Tous les articles, tous les sujets, toutes les approches, se renvoient les unes aux autres de manière logique et organisée. Je vous invite, non pas à lire attentivement cet index — ce serait un pensum — mais à regarder, à tra- vers tel ou tel exemple de votre choix, la manière dont il est structuré et le résultat auquel il permet d’arri- ver en matière de recherche rapide et, aussi, de visualisation du propos. Il n’existe pas, du moins pas à ma connaissance, d’autre magazine papier sur un sujet-passion qui offre un tel maillage des sujets qu’il aborde. Il s’agit, au sens propre du terme, d’un réseau, d’une toile (un « net » ou un « web » pour parler globish) où chaque fil se croise et se recroise. Mais ceci ne serait qu’artifice de présentation s’il n’y avait autre chose, en amont, de beaucoup plus fondamental : une documentation tout à la fois plurielle et unique, réunion dans un même support du fruit des travaux profondément inédits d’une pléïade de chercheurs passionnés qui se vouent à l’étude de l’armée française, de ses hommes, de ses unités, de ses matériels. -
