I am reading an article on the LW/AW radar set designed in Australia. It states the first production unit went into full operation at Tufi in November 1942.
When I google Tufi airfield, all I find is this web page, which claims it was built in the 1960s...

This, the last Flakpanzer designed by Rheinmetall-Borsig from late 1944, was incited by the SS-Führungshauptamt and fathered by SS-Hauptsturmführer Wabnitz. It proceeded to the last days of WW2, and not just a wooden mockup was made since metal was cut. All the plans were destroyed in a air...
A German report on Allied aircraft discovered by Gregory D. Heuer at NARA and published at the Luft46 Facebook public group,

Hi everyone,
Just like my previous threads in the same section, talking about French antitank weapon projects in development in the interwar period or up to 1940 that didn't get to enter service, based on my archive findings. I'm gonna start with the ones that caught me completetely off-guard...

Himself a crucial Allied asset (imposing Jointery, heedless of uniform colour) SACEUR Ike's Memoir (Crusade in Europe) gave 5 “pieces of eqpt (we) came to regard as among the most vital (to) success” (in his ETO: doubtless a Macarthur Pacific list would differ). Published in 1948 he disclosed no...
Hi all,
The purpose of this thread is to compile and present sources regarding Italian bomb types, fuzes and tactics used in the Central Mediterranean from their entry into the War in 1940 to the Armistice of Cassibile in 1943. This is meant to complement my other thread about German equipment...

Very little info seems to exist on these weapons. If anyone has any additional info this weapon (or weapons, maybe they are different from each other?) that would be great, such as ammunition types used, rate of fire, etc. Below is the info I've compiled so far,
There seems to be a small...
I heard rumour that TsAGI analysis found that the Ta-183 Design II would have shed its tail (although the IAe 33 Pulqui II seems to have eventually managed to make a somewhat similar t-tail work). What other issues did late war WWII designs have?

Hi Guys
I came across information on the internet that the Japanese used:
Messerschmitt Bf.109G
Dornier Do. 215
Focke-Wulf Ta.154
Savoia-Marchetti SM.79
Reggiane Re.2000
Japanese homegrown Mistel project similar to the Germans (N1K fighter on a modified J5M bomb)
Could this be a case of...

Hi everyone,
This thread is about the French tanks designed or contemplated for the new tank program drawn up by the French Inspector of Tanks in December 1939-February 1940, Général Keller.
This wartime program was intended to organize development of tanks in control of the infantry branch...
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,

Developed in 1945 as a modernization of the T30 heavy tank. The vehicle was equipped with the 120 mm T53 gun and the new Continental AV-1790 engine. Because of the decline in heavy tank development after the end of World War II, the T34 never entered service. The prototypes were...
