Sad thing is, I'd totally dig a game where entire armies from throughout history are sent through a rift in time and end up stuck in eternal battle or something, so you end up with Luftwaffe soldiers wearing modern plate carriers and carrying frankenstein assault rifles alongside Roman swords or something.

Hunting communists is kina sport, you know.

It’s worth noting that almost all of the uniforms and equipment modeled are of the 1950s and 1960s issued patterns. A common problem as this is what most costume houses that COD developers among other dev teams utilize, brand as GPW era. Ironically, the “chief medical officer” is one of the only models wearing the correct uniform for this time frame, although most female medical personnel, not at the immediate frontline, would have likely been wearing the issue skirts. Petrovka is slightly closer, at least wearing a war era tunic, but is the male pattern, officers model tunic which did not see wide issue to enlisted personnel prior to 1945. I think it’s worth noting that many of the “extras” milling around in the background are all wearing post war era equipment, mixed with the pre-war issue equipment suspenders, which did not see significant enough production for issue through the outbreak of war. The caps and helmets are both the pattern issued after the end of the war. All in all, entirely wrong other than it’s technically Soviet era uniforms and equipment, just not the GPW types.

13 years later and Call of Duty: World at War is still the best WW2 COD game out there... And "Vendetta" is still one of the best missions.

They got the scope on the Mosin wrong. I’m an American, any my first rifle was (and still is, I love it to death) an M91/30 Mosin. Mine is just a standard infantry rifle with plain old iron sights, but I have coveted the PU Sniper variant for years. The scope they modeled on that rifle looks like a ZF-39, which was made by Zeiss, a small optics company from the Fatherland… You can tell this from the, sorry I can’t think of a better word, bulges at the front and rear of the scope. Soviet scopes were at least half as long and were only as thick as the central portion of the scope modeled here. The Soviet PU scope was much smaller, less complicated, but arguably more durable. Zeiss did have an edge on glass clarity, but the robustness of the Soviet design made quite a few snipers on the Eastern front prefer the Soviet scope. The crosshair is wrong for both scopes, however. That is a plain and simple fine cross reticle. A true German ZF-39 has a three post reticle; there’s a small gap between the three posts, with the center post having a point at its top. The Soviet PU scope shared this reticle design as the Soviets worked with, and copied a good amount of their sniper doctrine from Germany. (While they copied it, they also took sniper doctrine far more seriously than the Wehrmacht. The S.S. is a different beast, though.) So yeah, from my little area of pseudo expertise, they screwed the pooch. Go figure. *Edit* And now I feel kind of bad, because of all the weapon errors you pointed out and all the ones that hurt you, I have now added the pain of them screwing up the rifle that is the pride of the Soviet Union. But I only feel kind of bad, since you have communist leanings and I am a filthy Capitalist, I do ever so slightly enjoy your pain. ;)

Leanings? Man I am doubled over and angry at the universe. Yeah the scope is wrong, but given that it is a privately owned Mosin I figured he put his own scope on it. So I didn't notice.

The rifle itself is beautifully modelled though, that bolt clear when she picks it up rustled my jimmies.

Of course the bolt is going to work. For crying out loud that warhorse is still fighting in certain parts of the world. But as for checking her ammo, no. For giggles I did that with my rifle, which has no scope, and couldn’t see jack about my ammo. Adding the scope to the Mosin makes checking ammo and loading ammo harder. It’s very nicely modeled, I agree. But the inaccuracies kill it for me.

The reticle is wrong, but the scope itself is correct. I suppose it's a simplified modification of a 1931 PE scope. In 1940 a small batch of civilian version of PE optical sights was produced, called PO-1. The original construction, was, indeed, influenced by Zeiss.

I swear they just have a list of all the possible *and* impossible weapon configurations that may or may not have been used throughout the entire war, and used a random number generator to pick one whenever a soldier or weapon crate is spawned

The uniforms not looking right is because they Soviets transitioned from collar tabs to shoulder boards (along with completely changing the look of the collar) only AFTER the battle of Stalingrad. So that uniform would be accurate for something like the Battle of Kursk or Battle of Berlin, but not for Stalingrad, Moscow or Kyiv.

I’m new to the channel and I’m loving the content! When you started talking about Ernst Udet and the failed project that was the He 177 I got REALLY excited because I actually wrote a huge paper a little over a year ago on the Luftwaffe’s high command from 1936-1945 with Willhelm Wimmer, Ernst Udet, Erhard Milch, and of course Goering. It was basically an overview of some of their more common or influential blunders and how they directly impacted the Luftwaffe as a fighting force as well as the war effort as a whole (wasting resources on projects that went nowhere, constant design requirement changes that created nightmares for engineers like the He-177 having to dive bomb and the Me-262 having to be able to carry bombs, plus numerous issues regarding their operational doctrine). I’m sure you know even more than I do but I just wanted to mention it because the only other time I’ve heard someone mentioning the engineering nightmare that was the He-177 being structurally reinforced to dive bomb was in some of the books or documents I read through while doing research for that paper and I thought it was really cool hearing someone talk about it! Keep up the great work!!

I love how when you said "NO GERMAN UNITS USED SHOTGUNS!!", I instantly remembered the M30 Luftwaffe Drilling shotty, and when I wanted to comment about it, the text instantly came up xD

29:40 the German medics complained about having to fish out buckshot instead of a single rifle round and the USA marines hyped it up same with the "devil dogs" thing where the Germans never called the USA marines that but all of a sudden returning marines started talking about how the Germans where scared of how good they where and how the must be the dogs of the devil. Also German war crimes have been portrayed in every single call of duty that has a ww2 theme, in world at war Germans where gunning down pow's and the injured and they even portray some Japanese war crimes, thus far the only country's war crimes they haven't portrayed are the USA, British and Soviet war crimes.

28:43 this exact shotgun was a very pricey and rare german shotgun so the idea of it getting to Stalingrad of all places is very unlikely

40:36 this is actually an Italian "samurai" vest, certainly not used in 1942 nor in the Eastern front. It was used from 1944 by German paratroopers and Italian RSI troops.

Fun fact, the Luftwaffe issues shotgun was designed as a survival rifle. One barrel was made for birdshot, one barrel made for buckshot, and one barrel was a 9.3mm big game cartridge designed to take down things like a charging elephant. Funny part is, this was issued to units operating in _north africa_ where there aren’t any elephants. Sounds like some out of touch high up guy was like “oh they’re in Africa? That’s where the elephants live. Give them elephant guns.”

The big issue was rural development and the reconstruction post WW2. As the USSR didn’t accept the Marshall plan it was forced behind the West in development.
