Videos are intended as introduction to military history, but also contain a lot of details for history buffs. Since the aim is to keep the episodes short and comprehensive some details are often cut. » HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT MILITARY HISTORY VISUALIZED « (A) You can support my channel on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/mhv (B) You can support me via Paypal donations: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=TFHEY4P4YU3NY (C) You can also buy "Spoils of War" (merchandise) in the online shop: https://www.redbubble.com/people/mhvis/shop » SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS « facebook: https://www.facebook.com/milhistoryvisualized/ twitter: https://twitter.com/MilHiVisualized RallyPoint: https://www.rallypoint.com/organizations/military-history-visualized tumblr: http://militaryhistoryvisualized.tumblr.com/ » SOURCES « H.Dv. 130 / 2a (Entwurf): Ausbildungsvorschrift für die Infanterie – Heft 2a – Die Schützenkompanie, 16.
