Selbstfahrlafette für 28-32cm Wurfrahmen auf UE(f)
Means the Wurfrahmen 40 on a French Renault UE Chenillette tankette.
The captured french "Chenillete" ( lil caterpillar) armed with heavy caliber 4 round wooden rocket launchers, maximum range 24000 meters, was a tiny but poisonus panzer.
That would be a typo, the 2400 yds was the value.
Cool stuff, CB!
I look at all the attempts by the Heer to hurry up and solve the vehicle problems of the Eastern Front after they started thier offensive and it just shows how poor thier preparation for that offensive really was.
It would seem to me that if they took the time to do a little research, they would have discovered that the poor conditions in that region have been that way for as long as people have inhabited the area...and most recently, the destruction of Napoleon's army.
Going in thiking that the offensive would last a few months was stupid to say the least.
Great RSO pics
Minenraumer!
True, but still in 1941-45 the main supply vehicle of the german army was the "pferdenwagen", horse carriage.During 1918 the Heer occupied Belarus, Ukraine, the three Baltic States and the Caucasus. I think it's safe to say the German army of 1941 knew all about the poor transportation network in that part of the world
Some more pics of the RSO I found on my harddrive. Got plenty more, just let me know if you wanna see more..
Actually it was the railroad just as it was during WWI. Horse drawn wagons were used only for the final few km from the nearest field railway.
How the RSO compares with, say, Opel Blitz in a man-hour cost to be produced?
