    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    It's actually surprising just how many horses and horse drawn vehicles that the Wehrmacht used during WW2, anything from field kitchens to supply vehicles.

    Didn't Roger and Hammersteins "Oklahoma" come out about this time? Maybe they liked the song "A Surrey with a Fringe on Top"?

    Only their front line vehicles were truly mechanized. Hitler's vision for his Army was extremely shallow. By contrast, literally all the U.S. Army had at the Louisiana Maneuvers in 1941 was TRUCKS. They put signs on trucks saying "TANK" for the field judges to factor in. You can possibly thank the Army's trans-continental truck convoys of 1919 and 1920 for accelerating America's interest in mechanized infantry, but the other influence might be the presence of all the principle players in moving assembly line manufacturer of motor vehicles - in America!
