[Zaku]

this may be not true but its name wsa mamouth?

 

[Friant]

No fair, I was just reading that last night: it was a captured British vehicle ...

 

[ROMMEL_HSQ]

it was called the Mammut( the mammoth in English) and it was a british ACV given him by Streich, who captured three of them in Mechili(i really don't know where is this )
This ACV save his life a lot of times when he was going in recon missions alone....the British soldiers always mistake it as one of theirs :rofl:

 

[Zaku]

Jippiii!! then I remembered right

 

[Zaku]

then here is your questin: how many larger warships(from DD class) did germany had at the beggining of the war?

 

[noddysseus]

Destroyers?

 

[von_Manstein11]

80-100?

 

[ROMMEL_HSQ]

then here is your questin: how many larger warships(from DD class) did germany had at the beggining of the war?

I really don't know what DD mean but if it was the size below battleships....then they have nothing

 

[Zaku]

no, everithing, destroyers and larger ships.

 

[unmerged(37701)]

DD means destroyer.

 

[von_Manstein11]

you could word that much simpler by asking what was the size of the german surface fleet

 

[noddysseus]

rofl.
Anyway I have no idea what their total surface fleet was @ the start of ww2.

 

[unmerged(12858)]

then here is your questin: how many larger warships(from DD class) did germany had at the beggining of the war?

55-60.. not omcuding subs..

 

[Zaku]

you could word that much simpler by asking what was the size of the german surface fleet

hey and what about the S-boats, and E-boats, whitch was way smaller then the DDs and they was part of the surface fleet(germany maybe had more hundred of thoose)

the correct number is 88 larger ships, so you was close with your ansver, Manstein
