axis powers

Looking through a book about Wehrmacht Field Artillery, I came across a list of which type of vehicle was supposed to tow each type of artillery piece. I'm looking for a similar list for Wehrmacht towed Anti-Tank Guns. Can anyone help ? cheers, Robin.

Is the water-alcohol injection R-2800 on the P-47s, so they can make 2300-2600-2800 HP instead of 2000-2100 HP, also cheating? Engineer in ww2: we've managed to make our engines do extra 15-20-30% HP more, with reasonable reliability. 21st century enthusiast: cheater! Three things: - there...

When I was surfing the Internet, I saw a post on the World of Warship Forum(https://forum.worldofwarships.eu/topic/3095-what-if-the-war-began-in-1944-royal-navy-battleships/) that an article assuming World War II would have broken out in 1944. And after reading that, I wondered what would...

I have quite a bit of information on this design but a couple sources imply that early on there was consideration of using at least one twin turret for the 135mm guns. Can anyone verify if this was true and, if so, what was the intended arrangement of the guns? Thanks, Dave G

When the Germans realised they needed self-propelled artillery (as opposed to Assault guns) to keep up with the Panzers, their initial efforts involved conversions of various captured vehicles to carry artillery along with the creation of three interim conversions based on tanks already in...

In a topic in the "early projects" section, I've seen a reference to a R-2000 Italian turboprop of WW2 vintage. That mention arouse in me a question: why Italy was the first to actively research some kind of jet engine but at the same time the only great power apparently not having some research...

Ah okay, that makes more sense. It seems the original description was incorrect. Justo, do you know where I can find more information regarding Japanese centrifugal-type jet engines? I’m curious how they compare to the axial series. and thanks for the amazing images and information, as always

- Junkers / DFS EF-130 A four engine heavy bomber of ‘Uralbomber’ class designed in the autumn of 1944 to compete against the Arado E-555, the BMW ‘Strahlbomber Projekt II’, the Horten Projekt 18 (23/2/1945) and the Messerschmitt P.1108. It had a pressurised cockpit for a crew of three...

In some sources, a Romanian remote-controlled demolition vehicle - supposedly, a version of Sd.Kfz 302/303 "Goliath" tracked mine - is mentioned. According to a few available data, though, this machine was much larger, about 2 tons, and supposedly radio-controlled. It was tested in 1944...

(also mentions efforts planned or actually attempted with the Ju 290, Ju 390, and the Ki 77. Overlooks the Me 264 though.) The Rome-Tokyo flight was arguably one of the Regia Aeronautica's finest hours, though unfairly forgotten. https://comandosupremo.com/rome-to-tokyo/

The I-400 was the biggest ever submarine built in WW2 and the largest until the advent of the nuclear powered ballistic missile subs, but the Regia Marina is not known to have built any gigantic submarines because it was pounded big time in the November 1940 Battle of Taranto. However I wanted...

Hello for all. The is are picture of drawings in W. J. Spielberger book, showing Porsche proposals to install a gas turbine into a Kingtiger hull. Is this an different early proposal for AFV gas turbine use ? Different than GT 101- 103 series ? Tomi
