Little know WWII weapons

Interesting webpage for little known German Infantry weapons. I really liked the bolt action 9mm Gestapo silenced rifle.

Resistance is mandatory.

To be loved and resptected is desireable. To be feared will work also.

I'll take one of each please!

I agree with Mitch, even though he put it in the wrong thread, I thought the anti-tank weapon on the Democrat...err jackass was awesome.

I'm particularly impressed with the disposable, one shot flame-thrower.

My favorite weird WWII weapon: ladies and germs, the Panjandrum:

Not really a weapon, but the Mulberries at Normandy facilitated the invasion:
