Perhaps true, but more in the vein of lemmings or grasshoppers. Individually they are not fearsome - but the masses of them certainly can upset anyone. They made a largely unsung contribution to the Allied victory. Not only in the Atlantic - but on the Eastern Front. Kelty's question how the Red Army would have made it to Berlin without all those Studebakers - is very valid.kelty90 wrote:From the Germans point of view, how about the US Liberty Ships as the most fearsome thing!.
Cheap, mass-produced, easily replaced if sunk...and conveying US military might; men and equipment, to Britain and later Europe.
There is also a case to be made for US trucks as being the most "fearsome" item of Allied land equipment (how else would the Red Army have got to Berlin?).
