nope Tim .. sorry not the T13

 

[Tim Marlow]

Or is it an M33 fragmentation grenade? Vietnam..

 

[BigGreg]

nope Tim... give you a hint after WW2

 

[Tim Marlow]

Bit confused by your answer Greg, we might have crossed posts? The M33 was introduced after WW2 and first used in Vietnam wasn’t it?

 

[BigGreg]

Sorry.. my mistake... the M33 was the "follower" of the M26 used in Vietnam the T13 used in WW2.

Mine (picture i posted) was used after WW2 and after Korea.... (BIG HINT now)...

 

[BigGreg]

Used in Vietnam...

[BigGreg]

VERY WELL DONE JON... but it was used manly by the MACV SOG.. (the Green Berets) particularly by the RT (Recon Teams) that went over the border in Laos-Cambodia and conducted some absolutely crazy missions in groups of 6 men, 3 americans and 3 Nungs (chinese or Viet montagnars).
They used a variety of crazy weapons and equipment

Your turn Jon

 

[Jon Heptonstall]

Okey dokey.
Some people on here may have used this bit of equipment.
what is it and part of which system is it?

 

[Deleted member 6559]

Its a Clansman UKVRC 353 VHF-FM radio developed by Marconi for use by the British military.

 

[Jon Heptonstall]

Well that took no time at all. These bits of radio stuff are something I find really difficult to understand. Well spotted Peter.
one more before bed time?
Jon.

 

[Deleted member 6559]

OK, one more.

Who's this, and what role did he perform in his country's regime?


Off to bed.

 

[Lee W]

I want to say Oskar Dirlewanger and that he was a very bad man... but I don't think it is

Lee

 

[Deleted member 6559]

Not Dirlewanger Lee.

Lets just say that if you had nightmares about this bloke's practice, the sight of him cerrtainly wouldn't cure them.

 

[Lee W]

It looks like he's an oberfuhrer but not 100%?
