The Little Thing About World War II (Part II)
1。 Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The first German soldier to die on the battlefield, it was the Japanese who killed him (China, 1937).
The first American serviceman to die on the battlefield, and it was the Soviets who killed him (Finland, 1940).
The highest-ranking soldier on the American War Death List was Leslie, Major General McNair, and it was the U.S. Army Air Corps who killed him.
2。 The youngest American serviceman in the war was Calvin, who served in the Navy. Graham, who was only 12 years old at the time. When he was recovering from injuries in the rear, he was found to be in a panic and was prosecuted by the military (later rehabilitated by the U.S. Congress)
3。 When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, the U.S. naval commander was named Cinkus (pronounced the same as Sinkus, meaning "sink us"). The mascot of the 45th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army is a Nazi swastika.
The name of Hitler's private train was "Amerika", and the above three points were quickly corrected because of their bad influence.
4。 The U.S. Army Air Corps has a higher casualty rate than the Marine Corps. And the probability of an air unit dying in battle is 71% in the 30 missions required to return to the rear.
5。 Generally speaking, there is no such thing as "average level" for pilots. You're either an ace or you deserve it. For example, Japan's ace pilot Hiroyoshi Nishizawa shot down more than 80 planes, but he died in a cargo plane accident.
6。 Generally speaking, one out of every five rounds of ammunition a fighter is tracer to facilitate targeting. This is clearly a mistake. Tracer bullets have different ballistic characteristics than normal bullets at long range, so if your tracer bullet hits the target, it means that the other 80% of the bullets you fired are missing. To make matters worse, tracer bullets let your target know which direction he is being attacked. The worst part is not that if you put all the tracer rounds in the tail of the magazine, it is tantamount to telling your enemies when you are out of bullets, and you definitely don't want to do that. So the troops who abandoned the use of tracer shells found that their hit rates and loss rates tripled, respectively.
7。 When the Allied forces reached the banks of the Rhine, they went up to Winston. The first thing Churchill and General Patton did to go down to the ordinary soldiers was to pee, and the above two celebrities were still photographed.
8。 The German ME-264 bombers were able to bomb New York, but the latter lacked worthy targets.
9。 The sinking of the German submarine U-120 was caused by the malfunction of one of the flush toilets on board.
10。 The first "Germans" to be captured during the Normandy landings were several Koreans, who were initially pulled by the Japanese and then served in the Soviet army after they were captured by the Soviets, and then the Germans captured them, so that they entered the German army again until they were captured by the American army.
11。 Thirty-five thousand American and Canadian troops landed on Kiska Island after a burst of heavy fire, and 21 soldiers were killed in the firefight!。 If there were Japanese on the island, this casualty figure could have been much higher.
12 In North Africa, the Italian army of 5,000 men was disarmed on the spot after encountering a company of barricades erected by the British
13 The commander of the British army asked the tankmen over the radio how many prisoners they had taken, and the answer was 1 acre of officers and 9 acres of soldiers.
14 Because there were too many prisoners of war, the British army was too late to build a prisoner of war camp, so they only had to ask the quartermaster to issue raw materials to the Italian prisoners of war, and let them build a prisoner of war camp to lock themselves up.
15 A German officer spotted two British soldiers holding down about a company of Italian prisoners of war and, in order to rescue them, fired at the British. As a result, the Italians finally ran, but towards the British positions.
16. During the siege of Tobruk, Rommel inspected the position early in the morning and found that the defense area of an elite Italian musket battalion was empty, except for a helmet with black chicken feathers (this black chicken feather was the mascot of this Italian unit, in other words, the battalion was captured without firing a shot)
