Default Re: I think the gloves were less thick than

I'm an admirer of German engineering but they did screw up sometimes, this might be one. They never put auxillary tanks on fighters so were unable to escort bombers to England hence losing the Battle of Britain, didn't put machine guns on the king Tigers or Ferdinands hence lost Battle of Kursk, and big Germans with gloves probably couldn't shoot pistols. There was however an attachment for the K98 trigger and they whittled sticks with notches for firing machine guns on MG 34s & 42s. They also used tobacco pipes for that also. The bowl looped around the trigger and they pulled back on the stem.
