didnt the SS have storm trooper regiments
not really
I will return to leafkind eventually
stormtroopers were way more relevant in ww2
Idk. Their role had been taken over by tanks. In WW1 stormtroopers and infiltration tactics were vital for the central powers
depends
foot stormtroopers irrelevant
but motorized ones were basically the offensive arm of Germany alongside the tanks
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormtrooper usually when talking about stormtroopers ppl are talking either about WW1 or the SA
yeah but they did the same thing basically
imo tanks didn't replace stormtroopers but were in parallel with it
didnt the soviets employ shock troops of their own
isnt that the same as stormtroops
they xid
afaik
Idk the role of stormtropers specifically in WW2 seems to be mroe related to urban combat
khmm
Soviet steppes
well yeah since in ww1 there really wasnt any urban combat
arras,amiens,ypres were carpet bombed
before any infantry could even arrive
Before stormtroopers in WW1 you basically had mass infantry charges supported by artillery
Thereafter infiltration tactics etc.
charging against well prepared dug in MG nests were the most chad thing to do
motorized divisions did the same thing as a stormtroopers
though they had half the tanks as a regular tank division
Afaik they just kept the pace with the tanks
this was pretty pointless
which were 5km/h
fast
since they couldn't do much with those tanks
the ft17 was marginally faster
this would plague them up until Stalingrad
Big issue with Germany in WW2 was tanks driving ahead and not enough oil being around for infantry to keep the pace
Which at times lead to a lack of infantry support for tanks
Big issue with Germany in WW2 ~~was tanks driving ahead and~~ not enough oil ~~being around for infantry to keep the pace~~
Yes
