Shaped charge

The short version?
German gliderborne troops land on the fort.
German soldiers blow holes in the forts' VERY thick concrete walls with shaped charges, and follow that by sticking a flamethrower thru the hole.
The fort falls in just over a day, leaving two bridges that lead into the heart of Belgium in the German's possesion.
 
I have a small pamplett entiteld "History Of The Shaped Charge Effect" By Donald R. Kennedy


I'd reccommend it to anybody. Good read. I also frequent it when I am bored. It has over 100 pages and allot of information on the history of the Shaped charge and the Miznay-Shardin effect also. Allot of pictures to.
