Not so Wonderful Weapon: How These High-Tech Machines Failed to Win the War for Nazi Germany

Warfare History Network at The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *Technology, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2012%3Anewsml_BM2E89A0YB501&share=true] Fascinating advances that came too late and too few in number to matter. *Key Point:* These new weapons were amazing. But Berlin never was able to mass-produce the kind of rugged, reliable weapons that Moscow and Washington could. During Germany’s early string of victories between 1939 and 1941, Hitler informed the members of the nation’s aerospace industry that he had decided to impose new restrictions on aircraft research and ... more »

Warfare History Network at The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* In the midst of escalating numbers of World War 2 casualties, American soldiers followed a medical care echelon system initially devised for European battlefields. The U.S. military employed an organized system for the treatment of soldiers severely wounded while fighting in the Pacific, including their evacuation stateside if needed. This system was based on the concept of medical care echelons. Echelon I comprised an aid station/unit dispensary, while Echelon II referred to collecting or clearing stations.

Hunley. *Key point: *The sub was supposed to be a game-changer. It did make an impact, but it was not good enough to stop the Union's blockade. At the start of the American Civil War in April 1861, U.S. President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed that he planned to blockade the Confederacy by stationing warships in waters off its shores.
