Myth: The SS were an elite fighting force, especially their armoured divisions. > as posted by one commentator, the forum member who posted the “fact” has no credibility, viewing perception based on Western documentaries. He further claims that “most people focus on the three SS divisions that were LAH, Reich, and Totenkopf, which were equivalent to a Wehrmacht division at the best of times. The remaining SS divisions were barely Volkssturm quality.” What? They Zinegata, Brickfight (NA forums), claim that the other SS divisions were of volunteer’s quality? Oh no, no. They are referring to Waffen SS divisions, records show their capabilities in combat.

Myth: Order #227 of the People’s Commissariat of Defense, nicknamed “Not One Step Back”, allowed for executions of Soviet soldier and officers without trial by commissars for retreating. > So, how about the NKVD blocking units executing retreating soldiers during battles? Any time for trial?

I think everything said was actually very reasonable. But, what about this?
suppose you were to write a awesome headline? I ain’t saying your information isn’t solid., but suppose you added a headline that grabbed a person’s attention?

I mean Common Myths About WWII | For The Record is kinda boring.
You ought to peek at Yahoo’s front page and note
how they create post headlines to get viewers to open the links.

You might add a related video or a related pic or two to
grab readers excited about what you’ve got to say.
Just my opinion, it could make your posts a little bit more interesting.

Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like you wrote
the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but other
than that, this is fantastic blog. An excellent read. I’ll definitely be back.

That “17 pounder” penetration was actually made by germans with another King Tiger. The penetrated Tiger 2 was broken down and they were losing the area for the allies so they decided to test the guns on that tank in case some would be captured by the enemy and used against germans.

This Blitzkrieg myth is a myth itself. No one said the germans made it, but they worked to make it to a real war doctrine, and there is nothing to do with this fact. I cant write this correctly in english, but read this book:

Peter McCarthy, Mike Syron: Panzerkrieg

Its a great book from how Guderian made the first armored and mechanised divisions, how he made this doctrine to the reality, and how these tactics served in the war.

The Germans have only themselves to blame for starting a fight way above their acutal means. Also, the other guy screwing up to a degree that beggars belief all by himself is in no way your merit – and once the Soviets recovered from the almost incomprehensible levels of initial losses and finally pulled their heads out of their asses they pretty much steamrolled the Germans right back to Berlin, the tempo of operations being mainly limited by the Usual Suspect of logistical buildups.

Givan that such required basically redesigning the ammunition storage entirely, that had to wait until the late-war “wet storage” models. Notably German tanks actually had the exact same vulnerable storage solutions but never received similar fixes…
