Mass surrenders of Allied forces in WW2 The fall of Tobruk was greetedhttp://www.academia.edu/2644030/The_greatest_military_reversal_of_South_African_arms_The_fall_of_Tobruk_1942_an_avoidable_blunder_or_an_inevitable_disaster Someone claimed the 2 SA dIv commander was drunk! Gen Hendrik Klopper who surrendered Tobruk with nearly intact forces of almost 20k. He was responsible for the greatest battlefield reversal in SA history. Mikecza,Patchesagain,what was the real story? 2 years later in Italy the 1st,3rd and 4th Rangers were deactivated after a crushing defeat and mass surrender at Cisterna some 30 k from the successful beach landings at Anzio a week previously. A combi of poor leadership,horrible luck,bad intel and inexperience saw them unprepared for combat with combined top class well led SS Hermann Goring division and Wehrmacht paras equipped with half tracks and MG 42s. Btw,the Goring boys played a major role in the bloodiest battles of WW2 defending Monte Cassino. Here are some of them. [img]http://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRI-ayrYsCoq7UvJaIR-TJiPAaw63o1orEwBC-O2m-ondebb1IP[/img] Also noted by several of the high-ranking Ranger officers was the decline in the quality of the men. Veteran solders that had been killed during front line fighting were being replaced by inadequately trained replacements. Often, their training had to be cut short to fill the gaps in the Ranger lines. During the battle of Cisterna, this lack of training, especially in nighttime operations, would prove disastrous http://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=250 Within 24 hrs the German arty was firing pointblank and entire sections began to surrender. By the end of the day, January 31, 1944, the 1st and 3rd Ranger battalions were no more. Only six men of the entire 767-man force made it back to friendly lines. Two entire battalions had been annihilated, and all the others had been killed or capturedThats one movie they WON'T make of their fav Hollywood boys! |

kikuyu1: They had just gotten their arses kicked at Gazala, the defences at Tobruk had not been maintained and Allied High Command had given conflicting directives as to whether or not Tobruk was to be defended to the last man. He obviously reckoned that it would be too costly to hold it against Rommel. Yeah, you bet I would be absolutely wasted if I was about to surrender my Division. Especially after the Austrialians had put up such a good defence previously 2 Likes |

MikeCZA: The MI-35m is the most modern attack helicopter south of the Sahara. It comes with the added advantage of being able to carry 8 troops. That's a major advantage! For troop transport we have the MI-17 and Super Puma. 4 Likes |

MikeCZA: Common. Helicopters perform better than each other it's a norm. However saying the MI-35 isn't a dedicated helicopter because it carries troops is wrong. Tell me one thing the Mi-28 will do and the mi-35 won't do. Armament etc. I'm not helicopter person so I will love to hear nemesis2u opinion on this argument. Let us make it an intellectual argument please. We should avoid using insultive words. I know patches will Jump in soon. 1 Like |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 7:05am On Apr 17, 2017 |
MikeCZA: It performs just as good as the MI-28 and Apache. We wanted to buy the TAI T-129 instead we went for 12 units of MI-35m to complement our 12 units of Mi-24. Algerians requirements and Nigerian requirements are not the same. 1 Like |

tdayof:Indians has Hinds but still why did she acquire the Apaches? Helicopters like the Mi-28, Apache, Tiger etc are better in areas like Flight performance. |
