German weaponry -problems for the allies

On the battle field with hundreds of extremely well trained soldiers 4 main things almost ensure  your your survival those things are  training.rations,ammo and weapons. I will be focusing on weapons and not just any weapons I will talk about the most powerful and deadly weapons of world war 2.


The German Luger
The Luger-If you can think of one sidearm that represents the German army during the second world war it would be the 9 mm Luger. It was the German counter part of the American colt .45. Although not as powerful as the 45 at the hands of the Germans this was a deadly weapon



tank fist



German Pnzerfaust- For a tank column driving through a old town sounds easy right?Not if the town is filled with Germans with mobile anti tank rockets. Panzerfaust translates in to "tank fist". and would ruin any tank commander's day.   








 
M2 Flamethrower-The flamethrower was used by American and German forces. The flamethrower was powered by jellied gasoline the shoot out a 200 foot long jet of fire. If you were being chased by a guy with this you would not get very far.



German king tiger- the king tiger was one of the most feared tanks of the war. It was capable of taking out several Shermans( the main american tank during world war 2). Its armor was 7 inches thick and had a anti armor  turret. and had a top speed of 25.8 mph.
German -MG42 The MG42 was the German counterpart of the American Browning m 1919.The MG was put in bunkers to protect the shooter and also on vehicles to make it mobile.
