exciting episode of out of the trenches where I sit here in the chair of wisdom and answer all of your questions about the First World War Nicholas Peterson writes Having come across a few articles about Allied tanks in German possession I often wonder if the German Empire trained units to disable allied tanks rather than destroy or was the capture of these tanks completely by chance or did the German Army Field tank hunter units or even squads late in the war the Germans were far slower at recognizing the potential of the tank, but they were compelled to invent new ways to stop them. Ludendorff persistently dismissed the effectiveness of the tank and he insisted even after the war in his post–war memoirs that the best arms against tanks are solid nerves discipline and pluck. The German High Command gave special training to artillery crews to disable enemy tanks. They were instructed to develop support points made up of one or two field guns and they would direct short-range baragas upon the incoming tanks. In addition to this, they would dig inaccessible ditches, camouflage craters and minefields with with extra buried mortar shells for good measure.

the Germans developed an anti–tank rifle which required two people to operate it right. One was the gunner and the other was an ammunition Bearer, but both were actually trained to fire the weapon in the event that one of them was killed Black fire rights how did they detect enemy aircraft. Question detecting enemy aircraft was a very makeshift process during the great war troops were issued with long-range listening devices which were basically big acoustic horns attached to a stethoscope. The monitor would then have to listen out for the sound of an airplane engine, although it was nearly impossible to pinpoint its exact location. Large concrete acoustic mirrors were built around the coast of England.

In Order To Increase The Range The

person could hear incoming aircraft across the channel still it was quite common that like pilots you know stationed at the mouth of the Thames they would see Zeppelin’s flying overhead before they’d even been notified at all and often to be honest pilots would just fly sorties over enemy lines hoping they would come across an enemy aircraft that they could destroy. Neil Stoltz writes, I know night vision did not come about until World War. Okay, but were there any early attempts at night vision and what were the basics of nighttime warfare Night Fighting was very basic during the Great War, but did improve with new technology. Tracer Bullets were invented during the First World War to combat Zeppelin bombing raids over England over Britain. Not only did they ignite the hydrogen in the Zeppelin itself, but they also helped pilots to adjust their aim.

alongside enormous German. Zeppelin’s on very dark nights and still not being able to see them illumination rounds were extensively used in battle-these were star shells which we mentioned before. They were made of magnesium and they were fired from howitzers and they’d light up in midair and they descend slowly with a small parachute and they would light up enemy positions and spot things like raiding parties in no-man’s. Land, the modern red dot sight used in nighttime combat was actually invented before the First World War, although it was only used in a limited capacity during the war itself. It was conceived by an Irish inventor Howard Grub in 1900 Yep and was designed to eventually replace the clumsier and more difficult to aim iron sights so that even a poor shot could fire a weapon with great accuracy.

The slightly more common nighttime gun sight of the first World War was used by the British, which consisted of a small brush stroke of luminous radium paint on the site and this was actually right active Max Silver rights did any of the allies of Germany send troops to help the Germans on. The Western Front Yeah Austria-hungary sent troops to the Western Front, but this was a limited amount. The Austrians sent for batteries of artillery to assist the Germans in Belgium In 1914.
