And all the allies had were those stupidly inefficient turrets.

The Soviets had all the good kit. Tesla Coils, flame throwers, mammoth tanks and rocket launchers! Oh and Tanya!

This thread just prompted me to watch a doc on Nikola on youtube!

Truly fascinating how much of a visionary he was and how his idea formed the basis of what powers our entire civilisation today
