Fascist Generals Use Tested Weapons For Advantage
European military observer notes that in any clash between totalitarian and democratic states, Germany and Italy would hold a major edge from tested weapons. Since World War I, German and Italian forces have learned weapon strengths and flaws in Ethiopia, Spain, and the Spanish Civil War, refining artillery, tanks, and aircraft. Recent German moves into Austria, the Sudetenland, Bohemia, and Moravia also provided practical lessons in swift mobilization. The seizure of Czechoslovakia’s Skoda works, Bren machine guns, and other factories, plus disarmament outcomes, would supply equipment for 40 divisions and about 1800 military aircraft.
