Shoulder-launched Multipurpose Assault Weapon (SMAW)

I suggest _Dirty Little Secrets_ and _Dirty Little Secrets of WWII_ by Dunnigan and Nofi for many examples of this,

Hmmm...I have both of those on my bookshelf but haven't read either yet.

Ei General! Totally OT, but It comes to my mind every time I read you. I must recognize that the small video at the end of your posts (I know that this kind of things must have some technical name unknown for me), have some sort of hypnotic properties... Every time I look at it I must wait to see the entire sequence!!!

What I'm wondering is if the guy has a prehensile penis. The ladies must be impressed!

You can also try "Hitler War Directives" by Trevor-Roper & W. Hubatsch.

The USMC still uses the SMAW: IIRC from OIF-1 seeing footage during the initial battles on crossing into Iraq of Marines carrying SMAWs-and using them in the intended role of bunker-busters. I've also read (Strategypage IIRC) where a thermobaric warhead was developed for use in Afghanistan against caves and tunnel systems.
