The Nazi Luftaffe participated in war crimes during Wold War Two notably, terror bombing, human experimentation, slave labor, and mistreatment of prisoners of war. Details of these atrocities with references are described.
In 1939 air attacks weren't much of a problem for naval ships. That changed throughout the war culminating in the Kamikaze. The solution was more and more antiaircraft guns. Chris tours the HMS Belfast that started with 4 gun positions before World War Two and finished the war with seventeen.
The Japanese used specific tactics to attack American bomber formation in the Pacific Theater. Initial attacks took advantage of blind spots and angle of fire limitations along the bombers sides followed by opportunistic attacks on separated aircraft.
While Germany has committed to increase its defense budget it is mainly looking a new weapons platforms rather than actual weapons and ammunition. Here's the current outlook on better balancing spending.
Helicopters are versatile aircraft that can be deployed close to the front lines to quickly enter battle. For Russia they are perceived as essential for dealing with defensive reserve units deployed by the enemy following a break through as they can provide air support and ferry troops.
We discuss the theory and demonstrate the use of helicopters armed with antitank guided missiles in antitank missions. Based on Russia's behavior in the Russo-Ukrainian War these assets are most effective for close air support coordinated with ground forces in ongoing ground assaults.
A look at the effectiveness of Kamikaze attacks in the final year of World War Two, the ships that were most vulnerable and how the US Navy adapted to defend against them.
