Changing the subject a bit I have another item to add to my list
The Bailey Bridge
The Bailey Bridge
Good thing to add, it is considered one of the best military engineering feats.

Wow I did not know that some where still in use.
Single segments were often used as ferries across rivers too when time did not permit the full construction of a bridge. This was especially useful at the Volturno and Garigliano river crossings in Italy when Germany artillery kept destroying the bridges.

Here's my list...
1) The war-built USN Battleships (i.e "North Carolina" onwards)
2) Escort Carriers
3) Churchill tank
4)MG42
5)ASDIC (sonar)
6)U-boats
7)Stg.44 (daddy of all modern infantry assault weapons)
8)Panzerfaust/Panzershreck (daddy of all infantry anti-armour weapons)
9)Guderian (first guy to put the theory of mechanized warfare into practice)
10)The Paras - who else would not only get to Arnhem, but take the objectives then fight off two SS panzer divisions until they simply ran out of people and ammo?!

the old Sage
Actually the Luftwaffe developed infa-red detector systems for their Bf 110G-4 and Do 217 night fighters early in the war, discontinued them and then brought them back re-designed and refined for the Ju 88G-6 in spring of 45.

Related to the Bailey Bridge is the pre-fab house, suprising longevity on those. 8)

The Fedorov Avtomat was first.
I'd also like to add the .45 ACP to this little list.
No it's not, schwarz, look:

No, I find they understand me fine, the original way.
You obviously don't speak real English then. Or, actually, you don't speak to enough Americans for them to find those obscure words in the English language.
I talk to Americans all the time and I have a lot of American friends. They're much more interesting than the British people - cultural differences are interesting. And it's good entertainment when they visit me and have to question everything, even when they've visited me before and asked the same thing last time.
