What was Patton's role in the Battle of the Bulge?

Patton was commanding the US 3rd Army. US forces, north to south, were the 9th Army, 1st Army, 3rd Army and 7th Army. The attack fell at the junction point between the US 9th and 1st Armies, well north of Patton's location. But it was a very large attack and involved a large portion of the front of 1st Army, Patton's neighbor to the immediate north. Patton was attacking eastward with his usual vigor when the German attack came.

Once the proportions of the German attack became clear Eisenhower called a conference. Before leaving for the conference Patton put his staff to work on a plan to relieve the troops attacked to his north. Patton promised at the conference that he could disengage from his attack to the east, reorient his army to face north, and make a heavy attack into the southern flank of the "Bulge" the Germans had driven into the American line, within two days. This seemed fantastic to Eisenhower and others at the conference, but Patton delivered on his promise. It was one of Patton's division, the 4th Armored Division, which first reached Bastogne to relieve the surrounded and besieged 101st Airborne Division at that vital crossroads.

Reasons why the Nazis attracted little support during the 1920s?

There is a tendency, especially in popular history in the U.S. and Western Europe, to assume that throughout the Weimar period Germany was seething with nationalist discontent and straining at the leash to fight World War 1 again. This caricature is very misleading. In the 1920s the new republic did, on balance, enjoy support - though often of a passive kind. It was only when Germany was hit by the effects of the Great Depression (late 1929 onwards) that the country started to seethe. The main grievance for most voters wasn't Versailles, but the economy. Hitler succeeded in presenting himself as a man with mission ...

What guns did the US and Germany use?

When you refer to "guns" do you mean weapons used by the infantrymen of the belligerents? If so, the American's used the M1 Garand Semi-Automatic Rifle, while the German's used the Kar 98K Bolt Action Rifle.

AnswerIn 1944 Germans introduced the Sturmgewehr 44 (StG44) . The StG44 was the world's first truly effective assault rifle and if the war had continued another year, the StG44 would have replaced every other rifle including the Karabiner 98k, MP38 and MP40. After the war the legacy of the StG44 resulted in the outright replacement of almost every infantry gun in the western world, serving as the direct inspiration for the Russian AK47, the most prolific gun in the world, and the indirect inspiration for practically everything else. AnswerNazi Germany

Karabiner98k- It was a bolt action rifle, with a internal magazine. It could be fed manually round by round, or via a 5-round stripper clip. It was also the main sniper rifle used by the nazi soldiers. Fired a 8mm mauser round.

Machinepistole40- This was a fully-automatic submachine gun. It fires a 9mm pistol round, fed through a magazine. It could be shot with a folding stock out or in.

Sturmgewehr44-A complex assault rifle. It was developed in 1944 and had limited use for being used towards the end of the war. Its existence was kept secret from Adolf Hitler. It fired a 7.92 x .33 kurz ammunition.

MachineGewehr42- The mg-42 was the support gun used by nazi germany. It could be loaded via a chain, or drum mag. It fired the same round as the Karabiner98kurz a 8mm mauser cartridge.

Gewehr43- This semi-automatic rifle fired 8mm mauser ammunition it was loaded through a magazine that went into the bottom of the reciever. It could also be used as a sniper rifle via a scope mounted on-top of the reciever.

United States of America

Springfield Model 1903- It was the main bolt action rifle used during WWI by the U.S, and was also a common sniper rifle used by US forces during WWII. It fired a .30-06 cartridge.

M1 Garand- Patton called the M1 Garand "the gun that won the war." It was loaded via an 8-round clip, a bit of steel that was inserted into a slot in the top of the rifle's receiver. The clip was designed so that thumb pressure would allow eight rounds to be "stripped" into the rifle's magazine at once. Upon firing the last round in the magazine, the Garand ejected the stripper clip, and the "ping" sound of the clip being ejected became the bane of US servicemen everywhere. The Germans especially learned to listen for that sound, knowing that it meant that the GI behind it was reloading -- and temporarily defenseless. GIs countered by carrying used stripper clips and tossing them randomly to fool the enemy. The Garand could be adapted as a sniper rifle with a scope mount on the left side of the rifle. It fired a .30-06 cartridge.

Thompson Submachine gun- The "Tommy" gun had been in Army service for years before WWII. Designated M1A1, the Thompson fired a .45 caliber bullet at near-sonic velocity -- it used the exact same .45 ACP round that fed the legendary Colt M1911 autoloading pistol. Thompsons were expensive and difficult to manufacture and maintain. Thompsons were used sparingly early in the war; they were later replaced by the M3 "Grease Gun," which utilized the same weak cartridge as the M1 Carbine. Thompsons were supplied to the British in massive quantities, even before the US entered the war.

M1 Carbine- The M1 carbine was used by U.S paratroopers and infantrymen for the U.S. It fired a short .30 caliber round fed by a box magazine. The Carbine was widely issued to junior officers and staff personnel. The .30 Carbine round has since been adapted to use in handguns due to its small size and the availability of large quantities of surplus brass casings.

Browning m1919- This was the support gun used by the United States. It fired a 30-06 round, and was belt fed, it could be carried/or set on a tripod.

How did propaganda help Hitler become chancellor?

Hitler used a variety of different methods of Propaganda in order to gain support for both himself and the Nazi Party. He used propaganda and censorship to 'brain wash' German people into thinking that the Aryan race and the Nazi Regime was the best possible way of life. It is arguable that his use of propaganda has been unparalleled throughout History, as he managed to convince millions of people that his actions were justifiable through posters, radio, books, art, television, textbooks, newspapers etc. The whole of life in the Nazi regime was censored, and this made people think that the only way forward was to support Hitler.
