Way back in high school one kid argued with me that the Japanese were using German equipment (his 'proof' was a propaganda poster showing Japanese troops in German stahlhelms.) I told him that if the Germans had shipped the Japanese any such helmets, the Japanese would have melted them down for the steel… LOL |
