Weapons of West Point -15- Trench Assault
0A discussion of the deadlock of World War One and the technical and tactical solutions to it. This led to the American Trench Shotgun and then the German invention of the Sub-Machine Gun and the German incorporation of that weapon into the tactical organization and doctrine of what is called Hutier Tactics or German Assault Tactics of 1918.
It was this (German Assault Tactics of 1918) which was snuffed out by the entry of the USA into World War I (at incredible cost in blood and casualties). Though, some 20 years later, these tactical concepts would result in German Blitzkrieg of World War II.
