The German army during the Second world war widely used rockets In the Wehrmacht, they were called “mines”, and tubular launchers for them – “mortars”. Some sources claim that the Creator of the German propellant rockets caliber 100, 150, and 210 mm were engineer Nebel. Therefore, they were designated collectively as Nebelwerfergranate, which means “mine of the Month”. However, such an expression could be interpreted as “smoke mine” (Nebel – fog, smoke). The second assumption seems the most probable: the term the Germans used in the First world war to refer to the mines with smoke-forming or toxic substances.
ROCKET LAUNCHERS ON THE EASTERN FRONT
We left the guide of the fleet “mistress of the seas” on the border of the 20-ies and 30-ies of XX century in deep thought about the future of the cruising fleet. Fully replace the old cruiser ultimate 10-tasaciones “Washington”, armed with eight-inch guns, clearly failed. England needed 50, in the worst case — 40 cruisers, while the number built, “County” under construction “truncated” “exetera” did not exceed a dozen. The rest of the Park were “veterans” of the world, armed with six-inch, still quite fit to fight with auxiliary cruisers, but are no longer able to resist the modern “colleagues” probable opponents in a dueling situation. And, worst of all, at least from the point of view of the lords of the Admiralty, they did not come for joint action with the fleet as cruisers, developed in the best years of 29 knots, and now hardly able to permanently exceed 26 — 27, could not lead the attack fleet destroyers. Required urgently find a solution to the problem, traditional to spread out on half of the world Empire: to cover all of their trade routes and to sweep them from enemy raiders. At the same time should not forget about the line Navy, for immediate support which required at least two dozen cruisers. And all this with very limited funds.
For many of my peers postwar truck ZIS-150 are associated with the period when in Moscow and other cities turned to mass construction of the famous five-story Khrushchev. Thousands of trucks on the basis of these machines was delivered to the construction site concrete, many truck tractors with a bulky semi — wall panels, and side cars and other cargoes, including people, which at that time was not forbidden by the rules of the road.

Serial production of the compact car-hatchback NISSAN MICRA of the fourth generation was launched in 2010 in the British branch of the Japanese company Nissan in the city of Sunderland.

And this car hunger to the full are unable to satisfy any of the pre-war GAZ-a and GAZ M-1, nor post-war “victory” and “Volga”, or many “Muscovites”, neither received the proud title of “classics” assorted “Lada”, no produced at the former combine factory “humpback” and “big-eared” “the Cossacks”. While some brands do not suit the buyer release, the other capacity. But the main drawback of Soviet cars has always been price. Judge for yourself below in the 1970s — 1980s years to acquire “Moskvich” or “Zhiguli”, the buyer had to collect a sum equivalent to three years salary!
During the Second world war in Germany, there have been many models of aircraft, some of them had a very original design. “Nutter” is definitely one of them, and although he never gained military glory, but in the air up and therefore deserves attention as an unusual and interesting Chapter in the history of aviation.

At that time, as a little clunky, but gained confidence with their performance of the submarine Holland quickly began to spread from America around the world, Europe remained a private leader in the underwater case. They certainly remained in France, where in the late nineteenth century for the explicitly revolutionary “electric” “Imnot” followed created on the same principles of “Gustave Zede” and its smaller version “Le Morse” gave rise, in turn, the first serial products: “Farfa-de”, “Corrigan”, “Gnome” and “Lutana”.
