Some TOE nitpicks and ideas

[Ts4EVER]

-First 1500 MKb42(H) sent late April 1943 for testing in six divisions from (HGr. Nord):

1. Inf.Div.
11. Inf.Div.
21.Inf.Div.
93.Inf.Div.
212 Inf.Div.
18 Inf.Div.(mot)

This according to "Sutrmgewehr" bei Hans Dieter Handrich. However considering pictural evidence at least some must have been delivered to SS units (including SS Fallschirmjägers)

I have written "evidence" that they were tested by SS units as well that spring and it is quite possible they could have made their way into the hands of SS paras. However, all that particular photo "proves" is that a Para is carrying a MKb42(H) and is standing beside an SS registered vehicle.

Can we end this particular nitpicking session in the knowledge that the start dates have been advanced to April 1943 and that a regular Infantry unit now has one and that all are now radio code RARE ??

Yeah, calm down. I wasn't trying to critizise, I just thought you might find the other info and picture interesting.
