Videos tagged with Late War Weapons

The Krummlauf was a late-WWII German attempt to solve tank 'dead zones' with a curved barrel, but Hitler's infantry order led to rushed, flawed development. Early tests with the K98k failed, shifting focus to the StG-44. Despite versions for tanks and infantry, severe technical issues like short barrel life (60-160 rounds) and abysmal accuracy plagued the program, rendering it a historical failure.
