Why the fuck does he keep calling it the Spandau? Wasn't that only used to refer to the MG 08?
>>
>>30122599
Because he read in one book that soldiers referred to it as a Spandu and has taken it as gospel.

Also, in his example he gives a soldier a) wouldn't bother correcting his CO/NCO on the exact name of a machine gun during a firefight b) the CO/NCO would probably just say "that machine gun" instead of "that Spandau" or "that MG42/MG34"

He referenced multiple books that called it a Spandu.

>>30122607
Lots of accounts I've read by British veterans called it a Spandau. However that doesn't make it correct. It's a colloquialism, and it's someone else colloquialism from 70 years ago. He doesn't need to use it.

Even the preexisting names of tanks (Shermans) were hardly ever used by their actual crews. It's actually one of the more annoying issues with WW2 document research, be it Americans reporting almost all German tanks as 'Tigers' or Germans referring to thier own tanks as simply 'wagons.'

>>30122563
Well thanks for bringing this to my attention anon, I disliked both of his videos.
>>
>>30125170
They cover completely different eras. Lindy does (did?) HEMA but never professionally and mainly talks about ancient and early medieval battlefield tactics while Easton teaches HEMA and focuses on late medieval/renaissance individual fighting.
>>
>>30125509
Lindy never did HEMA, he did larping of unit fighting from the ancient world.

They do sometimes cross over into each other era focuses, but yes largely different eras.

I feel they should be watched in conjunction since both have quite different approaches to fighting/practicality of weapons etc.
>>
>>30125651
He mentions doing HEMA in one of his videos on longsword technique. It was about ochs IIRC.
>>
>>30125671
Strange, apart from that I've never seen him mention that (including his website). Maybe he dabbled for a short time.

The way I understand it he did reenactment for a long period of time, he decided to try hema much more recently (and made that longsword video and the one about holding daggers after attending only one or two sessions).

>>30126415

In what fucking world are the Mongols German? And yet they called them Huns in WWI. And all the boys who grew up play-fighting in the yard against the "Huns" ended up calling German soldiers "Huns" again when they went up against them in WWII.

It's almost like these slang terms have fuckin inertia, or something.

Also, the man's fucking right. The MG-34/42 were both excellent HMGs/GMPGs, but they were both used in the LMG configuration as well, and their design features just weren't as suited for it as the Bren was. For the exact same reasons the Bren wasn't anywhere near their equal as an emplacement MG.

>>30126385

Hey, it was 90% successful. Took 90% of its objectives. Unfortunately the success or failure of the entire operation hinged on taking one - ONE - objective, and it failed to take that. This is called "shitty fucking planning." His point was probably something along the lines of Market Garden being an example of shitty planning, not shitty fighting by the Allies.

Though I never heard him mention "Market Garden" and I listened to the whole damn thing, so, no idea what everyone's going on about.

Matt Easton is the only youtube sword guy I know who can speak with any sort of authority. He's actually formally educated in medieval archaeology and can leverage it in experimental archaeology like HEMA.

Lindy is fine but out of his element in a lot of the things he goes on about. He's fine with bronze age stuff though, which is what I think he's educated in.

Oh, that's all? Well, he's technically right. Even if he is quoting Monty's own excuses, which were also technically right.

Mohammad pls.
>>
Controversy? What? I never even knew the two were ever compared.
>>
>>30126649
I though most MG placements had pre marked fire zones marked on their notches and periodically fired into those zones or if the terrain is tight they would set up kill zones and have them marked down to fire into.

They didnt sit and aim at enemy targets. Often they didnt even use the sites beyond finding their zones of fire, opting instead to use the tracers to check that their shots are landing in the correct area. Thats why a lot of pictures and footage of soldiers in combat have them sitting above the MG on mount or far below (although the ones far below had sites below to check for fire).

If a machine gun is on a tripod or wheeled its sites aren't used like a rifle. Its the technique above that made the mounted MGs of WW1 and WW2 effective in the defensive.
>>
What really triggers me, is that first this guy uploads a video labeled "BREN vs MG34" with an MG42 pictured.

Then this fucking bong refers to MG34 (apparently) by calling it "Spandau" which was a nickname for MG42, after a deathcamp at Spandau due to the massive rpm and killcount.

Kinda like the burgers called MG42 "Hitler's buzz-saw".

I couldn't even watch the video because of the "facts" based on opinions. Like laying down suppressing fire with a BREN is more effective and accurate than "Spandau" because the gun is more stable and slower in terms of fire rate. Here i was thinking that you're supposed to SUPPRESS the enemy from firing back at your troops by laying suppressing fire. And what could be better than 1200 rounds per minute raining down your position at constant pace (given they had enough ammo).
Oh, right, firing 30 round mags at slower fire rate and having to reload every 4 seconds.

Fucking no-guns bongs
>>

So I guess the M1919 is also the same as MG-34 and MG-42 because it filled a similar role. Wow didn't know the American's copied the Spandau.

There is no Austrian nationalism. Austria is part of the German nation, since the early middle ages. It has always be German, and will always be German. (Austrian) Hitler didn't "annex" Austria, the Austrians voted by 99% to join the Reich.
Austrian culture is South German, basically just like the Bavarian. Austrian dialect is a form of Bavarian dialect. There's German TV, magazines and newspapers in Austria.

The myth of the Austrian nation was brought up by the allies after WWII, Austria is just as German as Bavaria and Prussia.

Not really. The German term for tank is Panzer, or Panzerwagen. That's why they might call every tank a panzer, or a wagen, wagon. It's basically just another word for tank, so that's different.

Its true, they did accomplish (as far as I understand it) most of their objectives, despite how poorly things went

its just that it was planned so narrowly that nothing coudl go wrong, something went wrong, and they all failed

I mean, not a single one of the normandy landings accomplished their strategic goal, but they were sucessful regardless

On a war on the scale of World War 2, I'm sure your plans are constantly going to shit, I think a better strategy is one that can still suceed despite having to constantly adapt and change it, using the resouces you have available.

Yeah after Nazi troops invaded on March 12. It was a sham vote everyone knew was going to be won by the independence camp, which is why Hitler demanded the Prime Minister resign and to appoint Inquart as the head of government. When he didn't he actually just fucking took Austria.

There was nothing truly democratic about the Anschluss Referendum.

Also, Germany as an entity is a very recent concept. "Germany" historically has always been a patchwork of many nations working together (or sometimes against each other, see: 30 years war) for the betterment of "Germany" as a whole.

Almost like Italy, honestly. The only difference is that Germany managed to mainly set aside regional patriotism after a hundred years and do the country thing, whereas Italy still needs to be fucking balkanaized just so it stops being such a bitch state.

The HRE was a force to be reckoned with. The member nations always squabble to see who would remain dominant, but honestly it did insulate member states from foreign aggression and prevent them from being taken advantage of. Look at the Habsburg dominion if Europe, it would've been impossible for that to occur without the HRE.

That being said, I think there's something to be said about the pope, considering that he did manage to get the Emperor himself of the HRE, the supposed leader of all free Germans, to stand outside in the snow barefoot and beg for forgiveness after being excommunicated.

>Yeah but when he's wrong he'll own it and he sites sources.
Usually yes.
He's by far the best when it comes to the topic of 95% of his videos.

Still wish he would make a follow-up to the one where he claimed the Sherman was total shit though.

Unless you're a British infantryman serving during the time frame of 1914-1945, stop saying this.

this desu senpai.

A lot of grunts from the 80s are convinced spandau is better because of muh easier to change barrel.

when used mounted and at long distance, especially when shooting indirect fire, they used this method.
A method which wasnt very common in ww2. The german infantry squads were built around mobile mgs

Yup. I was genuinely interested in what that RP of his would be like, but everypne's expectations were almost TOO confirmed.

He actually used to lick Lindy's arse and try to be chummy with him in the comments, but Lindy ignored him and now Varg's butthurt, calling him a "chauvinist". Lolwat

It's called MYFAROG, which sounds like a norwegian toe infection but then that's Varg for you. It stands for MYthic FAntasy ROleplaying Game; presumably MYFAROGA sounds ugly to Varg but not MYFAROG.

Anyway, it is literally REFERENCE TABLES - THE GAME. Varg touts it as an educational piece for kids, but take it from someone who grew up with Warhammer - you wanna streamline that shit. Myfarog is the Platonic inverse of streamlined. It is - like Varg's social and political views - jurassically outdated. There's little original content - a lazy rehash of Norse mythos only with more cheap stabs at ethnicities and religions Varg doesn't like set in a jumbo sized Not-Scandinavia, with rules just copied from early DnD but more hilariously contrived. He maybe used one playtester besides his own children. It's dogshit.

M1919 isn't an M60 which came about 20 years after. No reading comprehension or sense of how time works, you should be speyed.

I have never seen a game that's so needlessly fucking complex and obtuse.

The worst part is that in his pitch video he introduced it with explaining the concept of a roleplaying game as if he's making babby's first RPG and his target audience is complete noobs, but you basically need to be an autistic accountant to keep the game rolling.

If he wasn't so amusingly crazy and out of touch, I'd say that I hated Varg.

>want free speech
>move to a country (France) where publishing and espousing racist opinions in public is punishable by a court of law
