    They are important to study if you have an interest in Allied arms of the period. Just part of "know your enemy", if nothing else.

    A serious underestimation of the Germans and esp. the Japaneseicon by the the Allies were part of the problem prior to WWII. Japan had more LMGs per capita than just about any other WWII army. Zero fighters. Far superior torpedos to the US. Hard training and years of combat experience in China. You don't have to like 'em, but...!
