Weapons and wounds in WW2

Here is a great bit of info about the weapons and wounds of ground war in WW2. It's a re-do of a US Army medical publication. Beware, it is extremely graphic! Also, it's long but very informative. Fantastic for those who really like reading.

Again, this contains some extremely graphic photos.

 

Hi.

Very impressive report.

I never realised that even bullets can cause massive damage.

Yours

tom!

 

oops, double post...

 

i got half way thru the front page than i almost fell asleep so i just gave up on it :cry:

 

Yeah, bullets tend to do that.

:lol:

 

Yep, a lot of info there. Take a while to go through it.

 

i was reffering to the first page

 

Bear in mind it's not supposed to be light reading, it's a US Army medical document and as such a potentially valuable source. I found what I read (Which is by no means all of it) interesting, but you have to be willing to read what is essentially a technical document that by its nature will make little effort and have little requirement to make it engaging to the reader.
