With the T-34 tank and the Stalin 2 heavy tank, the quality of the Soviet armored forces can definitely be said to be not to be underestimated.

In addition to Germany, the tanks of the Soviet army have already crushed the rest of the world, both in terms of equipment performance and quantity.

For example, the United States, which has just begun to equip itself with the new M4 Sherman tank, and Japan, which has to rely on German tanks to survive.

As an enemy of Germany, the Soviet Union was also constantly strengthening itself, trying to catch up and defeat the invincible German army.

Of course, the Germans were also strengthening themselves and not allowing their opponents to catch up – this is war, the most brutal competition in human development.

……

At the same time that the Soviet Union began to equip itself with new weapons and prepare for a counteroffensive after winter, a large number of German troops were urgently massing in France.

"Stand up." With a command, the soldier sitting on the lawn began to slowly get up. They carried huge backpacks, tactical vests, grenades, bayonets, and water bottles.

Underneath these things there are standard items such as ammunition bags, field tents and raincoats, various things to eat, and so on.

This is the most standard configuration of German paratroopers, and German paratroopers are the elite of the Luftwaffe's ground combat units.

Göring always had a dream of forming a heavy armored division that belonged to the Air Force and was named after him.

But the Führer did not approve his request, but instead named a German airborne division Hermann Goering's Airborne Division, the 1st Division of the Paratroopers of the Third Reich.

Carefully trained in full accordance with the Führer's requirements, some of these paratroopers had explosives expertise for every ten of them, while others were trained in the use of radio.

Quite responsibly, this unit may be the most literate unit in the world in this era, and its combat effectiveness is exaggerated to an astonishing degree!

In terms of armament, they are also proud of their peers: nearly half of these people are armed with STG-44 assault rifles, and the other half use G43 semi-automatic rifles and MG42 machine guns.

Therefore, although this unit does not have heavy weapons and equipment, it is more powerful than the most elite infantry divisions of the German army in terms of firepower density.

They were also armed with a large number of iron-fisted anti-tank rocket launchers, armed with a large number of mortars, and the Führer even equipped these highly decorated paratrooper units with artillery and airborne cars!

If the German armored forces can proudly say that they are the first armored troops in the world, then the German paratroopers can also boast of themselves with the first paratroopers in the world!

Because in October 1941, the 101st Airborne Division and the 82nd Airborne Division of the United States, which were able to compete with German paratroopers for the title of the world's first, did not have any actual combat experience.

The German paratroopers were different, they had a proud record of flying over the Netherlands and Belgium and sweeping Crete to capture Malta.

In the last half year of the war, the German paratroopers seemed to have disappeared from everyone's sight, and they seemed to have disappeared without a trace and became transparent people.

The reason for this is partly because the center of gravity of the recent war is on the Soviet-German battlefield, where there is really no room for paratroopers to play.

On the other hand, it is also because the German paratroopers began to expand and train after the Battle of Malta, and did not participate in the battle as a front-line combat unit.

In any case, the Führer had a great deal of regard for this paratrooper unit, as can be seen from the fact that he often referred to General Spudent.

Under the auspices of the Führer's beloved general, the German paratroopers had been expanded to the corps level, with 6 divisions of troops that could really be airborne, with more than 100,000 men.

Note that this is not the real history of World War II, when Germany expanded and then became the so-called paratrooper division of the elite ground troops.

Most of those paratrooper divisions could not complete parachute jumps or parachuting, they were only infantry divisions formed by the expansion of paratrooper units, and they were "paratrooper units" used as elite infantry in the later stage of the war.

The German paratroopers in front of them are different, they are all troops who have practiced real parachute jumping, and are actually airdropped by planes to fight behind enemy lines!

After hearing the order, these German paratroopers helped each other to form a queue and began to board the JU-52 transport plane waiting for them in an orderly manner.

Although the JU-52 transport aircraft was an outdated aircraft, it was always used by the Luftwaffe.

It was sturdy and durable, and the manufacturing cost was acceptable, and it was called Aunt Junker in and around the Luftwaffe, a popular nickname at first sound.

Although the aircraft was a little outdated by the eyes of 1941, Germany has been making do with it.

After all, Germany's ability to design aircraft is also limited, and after simultaneously designing a series of new aircraft such as jet aircraft, new strategic bombers, and new carrier-based fighters, they really can't bother to improve a transport aircraft.

It is not that the new transport aircraft has not been pre-developed, but the slow progress is distressing - Germany owes too many debts under the constraints of the Treaty of Versailles, and it is too much to be finished for a while......

Because of this, Aunt Junker is still in service, and once it is in service, it will be the scale of thousands of planes! From the point of view of the base, it will not be eliminated in a short time, but will be more and more.

A Junkers aunt can carry 12 people, that is, a squad of heavily armed German paratroopers, and can also empty two or three boxes of supplies at the same time.

In order to transport more paratroopers into enemy-occupied territory at a time, these Ju-52 transport planes also tow a wooden glider before takeoff, transporting an additional six paratroopers who have landed on the plane.

On the runway, Aunt Juncker's unique three-engine design is very eye-catching, the three engines rotate together, and the sound of the engines resounds in the sky.

There are at least 100 JU-52 transport planes here, which is just an airfield number. The German paratroopers boarded their respective transport planes, and as the transport planes took off, jolted into the skies they were familiar with.

Lyman, a veteran with real combat experience and now a paratrooper battalion commander, also sat on a bumpy plane.

He and his deputy battalion commander flew on two different planes, so that in the event of the "death" of one of them, the entire paratrooper battalion could still have someone to direct the operation.

Similarly, behind the transport plane in which Lyman was riding, there was also a glider in tow, and there were no soldiers in this glider, only one glider pilot.

Inside the belly of the glider was a modified barrel car, as well as some ammunition and a few iron fist bazookas.
