[ARC5] Off topic German and US Tank Radios

[gordon white]

     The Schneider book talks about the Germans capturing, intact, a 
British command vehicle with its radios, which they sent back to a rear 
area to be analyzed. No results given. Also, they talk about some German 
tank platoon commanders turning off their receivers when they received 
ridiculous orders from higher-ups. (Like Nelson putting his telescope to 
his blind eye early in his career when he did not want to see signal 
flag orders from the flagship.)

     I have seen German WW II radio units and though I never analyzed 
them, they were built physically differently than either U.S. or Brit 
sets. Japanese sets I have seen seemed to be rough copies of pre WW II 
American gear. In fact, the Imperial Japanese Navy was in contact with 
Aircraft Radio Corp. in the 1930s, seeking to buy equipment.
