German heavy coastal batteries. Technical report no. 13/45, June 20, 1945.
No full textThree batteries in the Pas de Calais were inspected in February, 1945, for information on the latest German practice in the construction of heavy naval guns and particularly on the application of loose barrels and liners. The 16" guns are of fundamentally novel construction; the propellant charges are considerably more complicated than in British design and ballistic investigation is recommended. The report is illustrated by 49 photographs and 18 drawings. The technical observations are summarized and recommendations are made for action necessary to complete the investigation. Certain information contained in this report has been confirmed by members of Krupp's design personnel
Military training pamphlet, no. 52: warfare in the Far East, 1944.
No full textThe object of this pamphlet, which is based on a pamphlet written in India, is to assist commanders in training their units to fight in jungles. It contains much of the available information that has been gained from experience in recent operations in South-East Asia, and it gives lessons which have been learned sometimes at a great price. In principle there is nothing new in jungle warfare, but the environment of the jungle is new to many of our troops. Special training is therefore necessary to accustom them to jungle conditions and to teach them jungle methods. While the pamphlet has been written primarily for troops likely to fight the Japanese, its teaching will apply to fighting against any organized enemy, armed with modern weapons, in jungle country
