Vanir Ausf B Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Some good stuff in there. There was a big Russian attack in a snowstorm. It was my first big battle. You couldn't see very far in front of you. The Russians came out of the snow in solid waves. They were yelling too. We were at the MG, laying them low by the hundreds. But they kept coming. We would change the barrel so it wouldn't melt, and we'd set the barrel in its case so it would cool off. We were firing so much that the barrel would burn through our gloves when we changed it. Then the whole gun would get hot. If the gun had a hang-up, we were done for. But the gun kept going. OOrah, oorah! Bzzzow! That was the Russian's cheer: OO-rah. When the gun stopped firing, you'd think you were deaf but I can still hear the sound of the snow as it fell on the barrel in the case: psst, psst, psst. The snow helped to cool the barrel. I can still hear it, psst, psst, psst. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgie Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Thanks mjkerner , some interesting and believable stories. Ist instance I have read about where the operator distrusted the panzerfaust so badly that he refused to fire it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
