Hey guys. I found this at my grandpa's house when he passed away. It's an army field manual that used to be restricted, (or so says the cover)from WW2. Some of this stuff you guys might be interested in. It is primarily comprised of actual soldiers writing about actual battle experiences. Hence the title. So heres some stuff I figured sorta applied to airsofting. It's alot to type so if you guys enjoy some of it, I will keep putting more in.

TOWN AND VILLAGE FIGHTING
Comments of a riflemen.
a. "The rifleman should fire at any opening to keep the enemy down until he gets inside the building. We used a three man team in searching rooms--one man with grenades ready to throw at the first sign of occupancy, and two men covering him. Speed is essential."--Pfc Mecozzi
b. "Every man must know his individual mission. In our attack each man was responsible for a definite objective. When the squad objective has been taken, half of the squad should consolidate the position while the other half returns and mops up. We augmented our armament with every automatic weapon we could get."--Pfc Gottlieb
c. "Carry plenty of ammunition. We found the following to be sufficient: Three extra bandoleers, four fragmentation and two white phosphorous. When you start, keep moving. Throw grenades into cellar windows but hold them for a few seconds so they cannot be thrown back. Keep contact with adjacent units no matter how small. When the objective is taken, consolidate for a counter attack."--Pfc Bulok

SECTIONS COVER EACH OTHER
-"We organize each rifle platoon into two sections for street fighting, one to assault and the other to cover. ..We attack rapidly and aggressively, clearing each building in the order of first floor, second and then cellar. Each succeeding building is covered from the top floor of a building just cleared."--CO, 329th Inf. Regt.
