"Each year, approximately forty thousand Americans are killed by gunshot wounds, which is roughly equivalent to the annual rate of traffic deaths on American roads and highways. Of those forty thousand gun fatalities, more than half of them are suicides, which in turn account for half of all suicides per year. Add in the murders caused by guns, the accidental deaths caused by guns, the law enforcement killings caused by guns, and the average comes out to more than one hundred Americans killed by bullets every day. On that same average day, another two hundred-plus are wounded by guns, which translates into eighty thousand a year. Eighty thousand wounded and forty thousand dead, or one hundred and twenty thousand ambulance calls and emergency room cases for every twelve-month tick of the clock, but the toll of gun violence goes far beyond the pierced and bloodied bodies of the victims themselves, spilling out into the devastations visited upon their immediate families, their extended families, their friends, their fellow workers, the people of their neighborhoods, their schools, their churches, their softball teams, and communities at large-the vast brigade of lives touched by the presence of a single person who lives or has lived among them-meaning that the number of Americans directly or indirectly marked by gun violence every year must be tallied in the millions"--

Die deutschsprachige Taschenbuchausgabe von Visit to Mauser-Werke. 464 Seiten im Format 15,5 x 22 cm zu einem attraktiven Preis, prall gefüllt mit Interna des weltbekannten Waffenherstellers. Gegnerisches Militär und andere Dienste suchten 1945 nicht ausschließlich nach technologischen Errungenschaften deutscher Raketen- und Atomforscher, sondern zeigten allgemein breit gefächertes Interesse an verschiedensten Firmen, um an deren Akten, Dokumente, Führungskräfte, Wissenschaftler, Ingenieure usw. zu kommen. Es ging um jegliche Art von Information, welche für die Alliierten zukünftig von Wert sein konnte.Sicherlich war es kein Vergnügen für Mausers Mitarbeiter, als sie Vertretern der Westalliierten Rede und Antwort stehen mussten. Wer hielt sich bedeckt, wer gab bereitwillig Auskunft? Ein Katz-und-Maus-Spiel. Dennoch: Aus heutiger Sicht ein Glücksfall. Denn es entstand ein Besuchsbericht der Extraklasse; ein eindrucksvolles Zeitdokument von historischer Bedeutung - ein Muss für waffentechnisch Interessierte.Auf welchen Gebieten forschte Mauser? Wie kam es zum Rollenverschluss oder zu Gasentlastungsrillen im Patronenlager? Weshalb verwendete man elektrische Zündhütchen? Welche Personen spielten eine maßgebliche Rolle? Welche Gehälter bezahlte man sich? Was beabsichtigte das Reich mit der Verlegung von Spezialisten und Ausrüstung aus Oberndorf?Der CIOS-Report Visit to Mauser-Werke AG nennt die Antworten. Hier nun erstmalig in deutschsprachiger Übersetzung und vollem Umfang.

An illustrated study of the big guns of Hitler's army - the Wehrmacht's field artillery, its capabilities and its role in German fighting units of World War II. Often overshadowed in military history by the tanks and aircraft of Blitzkrieg, Germany's artillery was key to its methods of waging war throughout World War II. Field artillery remained the primary killer on the battlefield, often responsible for three-quarters of combat casualties inflicted.Redressing the balance, this book surveys the major Wehrmacht guns of the war, and the basic organizational structure of the German field artillery. Its primary focus is on the divisional field guns, especially the lFH 18 10.5cm field howitzer and the 15cm sFH 18 field howitzer that formed the backbone of German artillery. A brief survey is also made of the infantry guns used at the regimental level, and of corps-level heavy artillery. The issue of the use of"Beutewaffen," captured war-booty field guns, is also looked at, as is the Nebelwerfer and schwere Wurfgerät rocket artillery. With archive photos and meticulously detailed new illustrations, this book provides a concise study of the German Army's big guns of World War II, how they were organized and how they were used, both on the Eastern and Western fronts.
