Two Hundred and Sixty-Four Weird Training Schools

It is the various military academies that the German Yuan began to prepare and successfully build as early as 1923 to prepare various war talents for German combat. .. If you analyze the dark history of the German Wehrmacht according to the experience of normal people, you will definitely be deeply impressed by the foresight of Yuan Acador Rudolf.

The German Armored Forces Command Academy is the most advanced non-commissioned officer training academy run by the Army. Numerous command elites of the German Armored Forces graduated there. Moreover, there was once ordered to train a murderous demon there. Although the training program called Wolf Knight was terminated due to various reasons, it cannot be denied that the German armored force still became the most combative force in the world through these trainings and touches. .

The air force practiced flying in the frigid suburbs of Moscow. They used outdated aircraft to practice strange tactics in groups, and they were laughed at every time by their Soviet counterparts. They insisted on using all kinds of crude tactics, and stubbornly used old-fashioned aircraft to climb and dive to attack their targets. Every time they were assessed, they were completely wiped out by Soviet pilots.

However, these pilots still insisted on completing their own training content, and brought these deadly air combat methods back to Germany. They train more pilots in the glider school, and these pilots also clumsily learn to dive and pull up in the glider.

All this changed after the me-109 and fw-190d fighters entered service. German pilots finally understood why they were required to learn the air combat method of certain death, because this dance of death can indeed make their opponents certain death .

The academy established by the Navy is a hodgepodge of training all kinds of new gadgets. Carrier-based aircraft pilots practice takeoff and landing on a fixed-length and wide runway all day long, and they have become familiar with that runway to an unbelievable degree. Some pilots even closed their eyes and landed on the ground to prove that they are fully capable of any takeoff and landing difficulties.

The secret training class is so weird that it is impossible to tell the truth from the fake. The Navy's radar unit is even testing a new radar small enough to fit on a destroyer, capable of detecting enemy targets as far as 35 kilometers away.

However, after entering the naval submarine non-commissioned officer training school, everyone will say nothing about the various schools above. All the students who can come to this school are elites after completing the basic naval training with excellent results. Here they have to undergo a more rigorous variety of special training.

Here they have to learn joint operations, special skills, and how to survive when powerful enemies look around. These contents are very important to fight against the enemy and save yourself in the future. The teachers who teach the class look for and discover these qualities in the students, and then carefully cultivate and consolidate them-those unqualified soldiers, accounting for about 90% of the number of trainees, will be eliminated, they will be fired and then returned to the Navy to continue serving.

In the first phase of the school's training content, all recruits have to spend 12 hours a day focusing on physical training and common sense courses on the internal operation of submarines.

These students must concentrate on looking at the multimeter,

They take basic lessons in the submarine school on using the electric motors on their submarines. They connected one end of the wire to the battery and the other end to the multimeter. When the switch on the wire was closed, current flowed from the battery to the meter, and the pointer indicated the strength of the current. When the battery in the submarine is depleted, the current decreases and the pointer of the indicator will approach the zero position. By interpreting this change, these sub operators can tell when their vital batteries must be recharged.

For submarine commanders, how to judge the distance and angle of an enemy ship on a submarine with poor visibility, and quickly determine whether the ship is moving forward or backward are very important skills. In this school There is also special equipment for training them.

In the dedicated teaching classroom, the course exercises are very close to actual combat. The officers were ordered to stand on a high platform arranged as a submarine conning tower and use the telescope above to observe the target. These telescopes are specially made high-performance binoculars, exactly the same as the telescopes in their actual combat.

The target is a ship model that someone manipulates in the background and can change any driving parameter. The operators in the background put on the talker and earphones, and the examiners randomly set the parameters of the model ship by asking questions, and asked the submarine commanders to use the telescope to estimate the angle, and judge according to how many hulls can be seen on the horizon enemy ship distance

In fact, the items that these employees hate the most are far from these. The calculation courses here and the boring data summary are the worst boring subjects. The teacher explained incessantly, and then recorded it on the blackboard with chalk. This knowledge is related to the calculation of oil pressure, the pressure of the nozzle, the flow rate of the liquid in the pipeline, and related data such as fuel injection and temperature. At sea, submarine officers and soldiers should record these data on relevant files every day. It's boring and uninteresting, but it's one of the most important jobs.

In a one-to-one full-scale simulation environment, the crew was required to communicate with the operation of the control panel and control more than 210 valve switches on the submarine. At the same time, the noisy internal working environment of the submarine and the sultry internal temperature of the submarine were also simulated.

Akado visited this classroom in person, and asked Denitz who accompanied him very curiously: "General, after the training of these complicated operations is over, how can we be sure that the personnel have mastered it?"

"It's very simple. My yuan." Doenitz walked to the end of the narrow corridor, then reached out and turned off the light switch on the wall, so that the whole room was completely dark: "If you can find and operate all the switches and Panel, just graduated."

"If I come here, I will be eliminated on the first day." This is Yuan's comment to Dönitz before leaving school. Doenitz's answer made Yuan very satisfied: "These Communists are willing to die for you, my Yuan! So I must find ways to keep them alive."

Another relatively novel training course is diving training. In a special tank, the crew must practice and will use an artificial lung to keep breathing underwater. This device is far less advanced than the current oxygen cylinder or artificial lung, but a vest device. In order to obtain the oxygen stored in the oxygen tank in the vest, the operator must quickly open and close the side valve, the outlet on the brass drum mask to inhale and exhale gas. There is also an emergency valve for releasing carbon dioxide on the vest, which is located at a more convenient position on the chest.

Before taking the diving course, the teacher has to repeatedly demonstrate to the students how to use underwater equipment and how to correctly wear a breathing mask. Accompanied by their teachers, the students will then don artificial lung vests and sink to the bottom of the 21-foot-deep glass tank wearing heavy lead shoes.

Here they will practice how to open and close the hatches of the conning tower, the airtight doors in the cabin, and repair various valves and shells underwater-the complex process is even more complicated than that of current astronauts repairing their space shuttles.

Of course, while learning these things, they also need to be exposed to many other things. For example, they will learn shooting and aiming techniques, navigation knowledge, how to distinguish charts and routes, torpedo ignition and weapon principles, how to operate radios, diesel engines, electric motors and air compressors. Of course, there is also one of the most important trainings - that is how to quickly open and close the hatch in an emergency.

In the second stage, these soldiers undergo specialized training. These second-stage trainings are generally not completed in schools, but in the submarine force. They are arranged as on-duty observers and trainee non-commissioned officers to the submarine force, boarding submarines performing patrol missions or participating in exercises for training.

Then they will return to school to practice again and make final preparations to board their submarine. At this time, they have to challenge every position, do torpedo mechanics, engineers and radio operators, until they are qualified for almost every position on the submarine.

The new commander and his crew will be given a short vacation after graduation. Of course, this vacation is not free. They will be sent to the submarine manufacturing factory in Kiel, where they will watch their warships being produced. come out. Cultivate their affection for their submarine equipment.

When the submarine is completed, it will become their exclusive weapon. In the next two months, they will complete various tactical exercises on this battleship, and the supreme commander of the submarine, Dönitz, will personally explain it, so as to gain a deep understanding of the submarine's performance and wolf pack tactics.

Then the submarine will go to sea and join the wolf pack to start their combat career. They will simulate various combat situations in the calm waters of the Baltic Sea and deal with various failures, including the steering wheel stuck, compressed air leakage, pump valve rupture, water leakage There are also damage to the hull and so on.

"For a moment, you will feel that you may be the most perfect fighter in the world. You are almost omnipotent, feel that you can complete any task, and face all enemies without fear..." A submarine commander said write his diary.

But he corrected himself a few days later, when his submarine was ordered to perform a mission in the rough North Atlantic, and he realized how wrong he was. He recorded in his diary: "A few days ago I felt that I could do almost anything, but these days I was completely confused by the real combat environment-the wind and waves here are five times that of the Baltic Sea. Fighting loneliness and boredom, motor oil and the smell of sweat stains everywhere, working naked while it’s minus 10 outside, it’s like hell.”
