    They did still have trenches and other fortifications in WW2. That said…

    1. Do you see any tanks traveling faster than 15mph? Any planes with less than four wings?

        Also plenty of monoplanes in WWI, most notably the Fokker Eindeckers,.

          Good point. And, not to glorify warfare, but the synchronization gear was an amazingly innovative piece of technology.

            It was certainly better than the initial French attempt to solve the problem, which was so good they named a tennis stadium after it.

          There were monoplanes in WWI, most notably the Fokker Eindeckers which kicked the snot out of the Allies for most of 1915 and on into 1916, though largely because of their synchronized machine guns rather than any superiority in their design.

      yeah, no, gas masks were carried in ww2. some poor bastards (depending on unit) carried them all the way through the war. promask carriers were a choice bit of storage room if you decided to lose the mask, but early on lots of folks worried that it would be used on the battlefield again.

      plenty of discussion on this with a quick search
