Cookie, you mean all those Nazi weapons with the Swastika stamped on them
were all just "mythos" and I had just dreamed all these years that they
had existed but that was just a fantasy? Shame on me, I should have
known better than to believe my eyesight. Perhaps I should erase all those
memories but I can't as they are too imbeded in my memories. I'm
sure some of our V-N vets are still carrying around "mythos"
of Nazi weaponry. I'll tell my neighbor that his memories don't exist
either and that he's been telling lies too.
That aside, I wish You and Yours a very Merry Christmas and A
Great New Year!

Please check the sections of the Russian history of the Korean War that I
translated for Ed and are posted on the website. They cover a lot of the
material including the screwy artillery laydown that was used.
Some of the mythos about "Nazi" stuff even rolled over to Vietnam, and I
can recall the standard handbook on VC/PAVN weapons showing ridiculous items
like 88mm FlaK 18s in them. Most of this stuff was scrapped as the Soviets
felt their items were better and more useful in "wars of national liberation"
than the other. They also apparently didn't have sufficient ammunition for
most of it and didn't feel like making it in addition to their own products.
