Small Arms

Versatile and well-organised, motivated and above all with an infinite amount of supplies: these few words can sum up the spirit of the American Army. Despite the fact that their tanks were not as good as the German ones, they could always rely on superior numbers to turn the tide of a battle. As the war continued even this technological difference was to disappear... the rest is history.

They had always been a colonising people, and used their capacity to adapt to every environment and to combat the Axis forces in every theatre. Brilliant strategists, they coordinated their manoeuvres to make the best of dramatic situations. Their return to French soil after the defeat in Dunkirk, was the revenge they had long waited for.

Their aggressiveness and genial use of new generation tanks radically changed strategy of war. No longer bound to tranches but brave manoeuvres: no defensive line could resist their Blitzkrieg tactics. Seemingly invincible, they dared once too many and found a worthy adversary in Russia who was able not only to stop them but also to beat them. The Normandy Landings signalled the end of the Nazi dream: it was the beginning of the end.

The image of the human wave that swept away the German defences is engraved in the mind of any history fanatic. But the Russian Army is also famous for its tanks, huge giants with large calibre guns. A lethal combination that broke the Germans and forced them, after years of victory, to retreat back to the heart of the Reich where their dreams were then finally destroyed.
