Early Access: Allied Weapons for Germany? (Patreon)

Producing Allied Weapons for Germany?

Germany not only use captured weapons, in some cases they also produced foreign weapons, created new weapon systems based on foreign weapons, equipment and components. In this video we look at how the Wehrmacht appropriated various weapons into their production. For this we will look at various weapons and components from the Soviet Union, the United States, Czechoslovakia, and France. This will include the Soviet 120mm Mortar PM38, which the Germans called 12 cm Gr.W. 38 – 378 (r), 76 mm divisional gun M1936 (F-22) - the 7.6 cm F.K. 36 – 296 (r) , divisional gun M1942 (ZiS-3), 76 mm regimental gun M1927 - 7,62 cm-Infanterie-Kanonen-Haubitze 290 (r), the US M1 Bazooka, the LT Vz. 38 (Panzer 38(t)), Panzerselbstfahrlafette 1 für 7.62 cm PaK36(r) also known as Marder II and the Henschel 129. Some might call this "vehicular appropriation".
