The best articles on military subjects I read (or listened to) in the past week
This past week, I discovered:
the newsletter of Cam Simpson, which published an impressively thorough account of an encounter between a German anti-tank gun and a South African Sherman tank on a road north of Rome on 7 June 1944.
War Quants, which published a thought-provoking piece on ‘The Drone Carrier Revolution’.
Downrange Data, which offered, among many other good things, a thoughtful alternative to fitness regimes based on quotas.
I also renewed acquaintances with some old friends.
At the Whirl of Reorientation, I learned much from a discussion, with the author of Blitzed, about the role that amphetamines played in the German invasion of France in 1940.
In ‘Cables, Pipelines, and Consequences’, Commander Salamander tells a tale of shadow fleets, vulnerable infrastructure, and the fine art of responding to provocations.
On the page that hosts ‘The Trusty Glider Borne Mule’, Monique Taylor provides both a splendid quotation about the strategic patience of hybrid equines and a link to an splendid article about the role that airborne quadrupeds played in the fight for Burma in World War II.
Did I miss anything? Please use the comments section to post links to recently published articles that might interest readers of The Tactical Notebook.
