Althrough it was the entire 19th Infantry Regiment of the Russians which was thus attacked, only a few bombs (each round up to 5 kilograms) sufficed to utterly wipe them out to the last man." -- This gets a very weak smile from me. "A few" 5 kg (!!) tac-nukes, operational by 1942 and then never heard of again, when they failed to get a chain reaction even at Haigerloch? | |
