Collecting and Shooting the German Mauser 98k (Karabiner 98k) -HISTORY Page 1 of 2 Adobe PDF Downloadable Version of Article The German Model Kar 98k Mauser Carbine is a modified, shortened version of the WWI Gewehr 98 rifle, the Mauser turn- bolt action, developed by Paul Mauser in 1898. The Kar 98k (98k) was adopted for use by the German Wehrmacht in 1935. It was the primary German infantry rifle in WW II, and was noted for its excellent accuracy. During WWII the 98k was developed in very large quantities in most German occupied countries. After WWII many countries; East Germany, Norway, China, and even Israel issued the rifle to homeland troops. Some rifles were rebarreled to 30.06 and .308 calibers.

The Bears Pit There's Also a More Or Less Working Flamethrower Added, Which Is Still Work in Progress
Subject: Alpha_Item_Mod_for_WF6.06 Part 4 Posted by smeagol on Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:23:49 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message No better way to start Thread 4 than with Version 44. Thread 1 can be found here. Thread 2 here. Thread 3 here. Small FAQ: What is the Alpha_ Item_Mod_for_WF6.06? It's basically just what the title suggests, an add-on for the WF Mod for 1.13 that Jax and myself made. It's certainly not necessary in order to play the WF Mod, but it will add a bit of fun. I already made some hundreds of items, added lots of merges, reworked starting gear and enemy item choices, etc... The Mod in it's basic configuration needs an .exe for the 100AP system, as all items have their usage costs adjusted to this. So, if you experience any problems with too high reload costs or similiar things, make sure you use a game .exe that uses the 100AP system. The newest version of the Alpha Item Mod is V44 V44. The Skydrive site has some issues with certain web browsers. I can't reach the download site with Seamonkey, wheras Firefox just works fine. So, if you get a yellow page with lots of code, try another browser, that should fix it... Downloads for either the Item Mod or the updated maps can both be found on my Skydrive. I upload updates on a more or less regular basis, so make sure to check here, whether there's something new to download. The maps might require re-starting a game, but the item mod in general doesn't require a restart when you update from one version to a newer one.

German Infantry Battalion structure and terminology 6 Overview 7 Evolution of the German Infantry Battalion (chart) 9 The elements of the Battalion 10 Annex A - Signal communication 32 Annex B - Weapons and ammunition 35 Annex C - Notes on the use of Volks Grenadier Battalions 50 Annex D - Notes on Divisional Fusilier units 53 Sources and acknowledgements 55 www.bayonetstrength.uk Gary Kennedy February 2019 3 Introduction This is my attempt at analysing the evolving organization, equipment and weapons of the German Infantry Battalion during the Second World War. It covers the Battalion as would be found in the typical Infantry Division. For the purposes of this examination the Battalion can be considered in time periods of the immediate pre-war and the invasion of Poland, the major campaigns and victories of 1940 to 1942, then the retreats and defeats of 1943 into 1944, and the final reckoning of 1945. Included in this second draft is an Annex on the Fusilier Company or Battalion, introduced into the Infantry Division during 1944 and 1945. As far as possible, the information included here is obtained from contemporary documents, with a list of sources and acknowledgements provided at the end. This is a subject I have been dipping in and out of for a good twenty years now, and when I look at my list of sources and acknowledgements I know I am missing out more than a couple of both who deserve a mention, so drop me an email if you’re reading this and think you’re one of them.
