At that time U.S. Army doctrine held that a force of dedicated tank destroyers would thwart enemy armored assaults. General Lesly McNair, head of Army Ground Forces, decreed that half of these antitank forces be towed weapons, contrary to the wishes of the head of the Tank Destroyer Center, Colonel A.D.Bruce, who advocated heavily armed, very fast, self-propelled tank destroyers. In early 1943, the 76mm Gun Motor Carriage T70, was standardized as the M18. Buick, the builder of the vehicles, dubbed the new tank destroyer the Hell-Cat (notice the hyphen). The Hell-Cat first saw combat at Anzio, Italy, and from there use of the vehicle spread throughout the European campaign. While designed and built to be a tank destroyer, units in the field frequently pressed the vehicles into service as direct-support artillery for infantry. At their peak, in March 1945, there were 540 M18s in use in Europe. Those Hell-Cats are credited with the destruction of 526 enemy armored vehicles, at a cost of 216 of their own.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;1/30 scale&lt;br&gt;Matte Finish&lt;br&gt;5 piece set: Vehicle, Crewman, 50 Cal.

These camouflage patterns were designed by a Munich art professor named Johann Georg Otto Schick, then the director of the German camouflage research unit, and were unique to the Waffen SS. By 1938 Helmet covers, smocks, and groundsheets (zeltbahns) were field tested and adopted into service. The early patterns of camouflage cloth were screen printed by hand, which did not allow large quantities of material to be produced efficiently. As the war progressed there was a huge increase in demand for camouflaged field clothing and production was increased by using machine roller-printed versions of the cloth. This roller-printed design appeared in two distinct styles which are today known as Oak Leaf A, introduced in 1941, and Oak Leaf B introduced by 1943. Both patterns continued in use until 1945, and were used alongside several other patterns of printed camouflage items, including the &quot;pea&quot; or &quot;dot&quot; patterns introduced in 1944 and 1945.</description>

The German Zeltbahn (Tent Sheet) or Army Tent Quarter was a multi- purpose piece of German army regulation equipment made of a water repellent material called Makostoff and could be combined with three other sections to make a proper tent, or used for camouflage, as a poncho or even a stretcher. This Grenadier wears the Zeltbahn as a substitute for the pull over camouflage smock in one of the first variants of the roller-printed camouflage introduced in 1941, now known as Oak Leaf A. Being machine roller printed, the pattern perfectly repeats every 44 centimeters, although this can be very difficult to discern on finished garments. The Oak Leaf pattern continued to be produced until 1945, although a somewhat simplified version was introduced in 1943, referred to as Oak Leaf B.</description>

He and his family emigrated to the United States in 1924. He attended military training in high school which ultimately led to a commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the infantry of the United States Army. Spiers served with the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division during World War II. He was initially assigned as a platoon leader in Company B of the 1st Battalion of the 506th PIR. Spiers was re-assigned to D Company of the 2nd Battalion before the invasion of Normandy in June 1944 and was later assigned as commander of E Company during an assault on Foy, Belgium, after the siege of Bastogne was broken during the Battle of the Bulge. Spiers would continue to serve in the Korean War and later became the American governor for Spandau Prison in Berlin.</description>

Before the poncho was ever introduced as rain gear, the raincoat was widely used by the U.S. Army. These came in both mounted and dismounted versions, with several different patterns used during the war. These raincoats were made using rubber-coated or resin-impregnated fabric, with seams glued and sealed together using high strength cement. The raincoat was often worn over other uniforms, and even equipment, to reduce the effects of&lt;br&gt;rain, although prolonged exposure would still result in a soldier getting wet.</description>

Research and development of a cost effective alternative resulted in the M3 &quot;Grease Gun.&quot; Produced by the General Motors Guide Lamp Division, it was a stamped, sheet-metal surrogate for the primarily milled Thompson. With its riveted and welded construction, the M3 was originally designed as a disposable small arm to be used and then discarded once it became inoperative. This simple weapon permitted the installation of a conversion kit - a replacement bolt and barrel, recoil springs, and a magazine adapter which would change the weapons original .45 caliber to that of 9 mm Parabellum.</description>

Many of these men were rushed to this area of Luxembourg in the wooded area of the Ardennes lacking proper winter clothing and equipment. They grabbed what was available and as a result many different combinations of U.S. Army clothing is evident in period photographs ranging from specialized rigger-modified airborne clothing supplemented by every description of G.I. winter clothing available. These three troopers of the 327th Glider Infantry are pretty typical in the dress of the men that became known as the &quot;Battered Bastards of Bastogne&quot;.</description>

It would lay down a base of fire then advance to the next position with the team. While portable, the BAR was not sufficient as a sustained fire weapon due to its fixed barrel and 20-round magazine. The M1919A6 was the attempt at a solution. A 30 cal. M1919 was fitted with a buttstock, a front barrel with a carrying handle, and a bipod similar to that used on the BAR. Unlike the BAR the M1919A6 muzzle device allowed the gun crew to replace the barrel; an improvement, but still an awkward procedure that put the gun out of action for several minutes. Although slow to set up, it was effective, reliable, and popular with the troops.</description>

Because of this, U.S. soldiers in World War II went to war using several different versions of the basic load bearing gear. This soldier is traveling light. Around his waist is a M1923 cartridge belt with 10 canvas pockets to hold eight-round en bloc clips for the M1 Garand. Metal grommets around the bottom of the belt could attach to more equipment, such as a canteen, first aid pouch, entrenching tool, and in this case a prized German Luger trophy. Across his chest are two canvas bandoliers with 10 canvas pockets for more M1 Garand en bloc clips.</description>

For the M1 Garand the device was designated as the M7. This hollow-tubed, muzzle adapter could throw a standard Mk 2 grenade up to 220 yards, compared with the maximum of 33 yards when it was thrown by hand. To launch a grenade, a special high-powered blank cartridge was chambered in the rifle. Once the device was fixed to a blank-loaded rifle, it could fire fragmentation, anti-tank, and smoke grenades, as well as pyrotechnic signals. One to three M7 grenade launchers were issued to each rifle squad depending on the period of the war.</description>

However, it did have one drawback: the dreaded the M1 Thumb, caused when the powerful main spring slams the soldiers thumb between the bolt and the receiver. But this was easily avoided once you got the procedure down. Pull the operating rod handle back firmly to its stop. Aline the en bloc clip over the empty magazine and use your right thumb to press the clip into place. Your palm travels down along the right side of the stock with the heel of your hand blocking any sudden forward travel by the operating rod handle. The operating rod spring will exert enough pressure to close the bolt quite sharply once the clip is fully seated.</description>

The attacking Germans were Volksgrenadiers and the elite Panzer Lehr. At Marvie the 327th was outnumbered by 15 to 1. The Germans faced only two U.S. companies supported by several tanks from the 10th Armored Division. Fighting continued over the next several days with the enemy attacking in force with their panzer corps. The Germans managed to place tanks behind U.S. lines between Marvie and Bastogne. The glider men of Company G and Company F were pushed back from 500 to 1,000 yards during the intense fighting, but did not break.</description>
