The Lion Disturbed

Maybe it's a Type 100 The Japanese have switched sides!:eek:

:p It could also be an Austen. What's really different about the photo I posted, is that the soldier on the far left is using a Finnish Suomi KP/-31 submachine gun. :eek:

EDIT: Or it's an MP35. Kind of hard to tell really. Just like the two other soldiers aren't using MP40s, or even MP38s for that matter, as the weapons appear to have wooden stocks. The soldier on the right could have an MP28 like I said earlier, or it could be an MP34. :confused:

EDIT 2: After further checking, it appears the two middle soldiers are using the MP41. I think. :p

I think your right about the Suomi and the MP41s the SS got the majority of the MP41s The guy on the right looks like he has an MP28 the muzzle looks more like that of the MP28 than the MP34 but that's just my guess.

Either way, it's a very interesting picture, just for the weapons alone.
 
Absolutely. I feel almost embarrassed that I had never heard of the Stroop Report before today.
I understand it was meant as a gift for Hitler and was very detailed. There was a German general who was disgusted by the length of the report he said an infantry battlefield report took less than a quarter of the paper that the Stroop Report took up.

Doesn't surprise me in the least.

Interesting. I don't see any true way the Poles can beat the Germans unless the POD is revealed to be further back than April of 1943, but at the rate it's going, it looks like they are making the Germans pay a heavy price, and can probably force them to pull a good number of troops into Warsaw.

Depending on how long things go and how many German formations are pulled into the city, at this point it might even have some indirect influence on the German response to the Allied attack on Sicily and Italy later on.

Could have an effect on Kursk too.
