04:31While the rapid shot is fired at a suddenly appearing enemy from a distance of 50 to 10 meters, the hip shot is fired from a distance of 10 meters.
04:41The way of carrying the rifle is also here, with both hands in front of the body. Mouth up left.
04:48This is how the rifle is to be hit the fastest.
04:52A rifle.
05:00Left hand on the handguard, right hand on the piston neck.
05:06Index finger on the trigger.
05:08Press the rifle firmly against the hip.
05:11And so we storm forward.
05:15When identifying the target, stand up on the bent left knee and hold the rifle with the left arm pressed down on the enemy.
05:24Only the individual training makes it possible to train the man to a complete mastery of the melee.
05:30Stop! You would never have hit like that.
05:36Press the left elbow.
05:40Now he is at the target.
05:44Now think about it, Jonen, what would have happened to the enemy because of this mistake.
06:01So, practice again and again. The enemy punishes every mistake.
06:15Such targets increase the surprise moment and lead to a lightning-fast overcoming of the shock moment.
06:26This is wrong.
06:33To practice this way does not make the man self-sufficient.
06:37A front-line training can only be achieved in the field.
06:41A front-line training can only be achieved in the field.
07:00After the shot, stab, push, pull or kick and continue to storm.
07:06Or go into position.
07:09Instructors, bring your front-line experience to the man.
07:13Think of all changes, of all situations in which the soldier can suddenly hit.
07:17Like here.
07:20The power of the instructor
07:22The power of the instructor
07:32The momentum of the instructor, who must constantly work on himself,
07:37is the driving force for the courage, the perseverance and self-confidence that the melee fighter must show.
07:44Pre-exercises
07:46The pre-exercises for a target-proof hand grenade throw are shown in the film Body School and Close Combat Without Weapons.
07:56In this exercise, hand grenades can be used with auxiliary demolition equipment.
08:01Close Combat Without Weapons
08:10In the melee training with weapons, a masterly control of the throw should be achieved in all combat situations.
08:16Each throw must be a target throw.
08:19Target circles are therefore to be used for the promotion of hit safety.
08:25All preparations for the hand grenade throw are to be taken in cover.
08:29Unscrew the butt plate.
08:34Take a slow jump.
08:36March, march, march!
08:43Lay back far.
08:45Hip in the shoulder.
08:47Throw the arm forward like a punch.
08:53Then walk a few steps further to get even closer to the enemy.
08:58And then full cover.
09:02When throwing in the course, the rifle and the hand grenade are carried in the left hand.
09:08Each throw is thus to be practiced with the stick as with the egg hand grenade.
09:13The right hand then holds the hand grenade in the course.
09:16The release button remains between the index finger and middle finger of the left hand and pushes it forward.
09:28Close Combat Without Weapons
09:31Now some experiences that we can use well in the local combat or when rolling up a trench.
09:39Imagine a road crossing.
09:57The enemy runs to the side.
09:59Then we throw in advance.
10:09He jumps back.
10:11Then we throw in overtime.
10:13The enemy jumps at you.
10:15Then we throw in short.
10:20We throw the enemy to the side.
10:22Then we throw in overtime.
10:25We always throw the hand grenade in front of the enemy so that he has to run into the detonation.
10:33If the enemy puts such a thing in front of us, then we behave as follows.
10:41Lay down in the flat terrain, steel helmet to the hand grenade.
10:47Or jump behind the next cover.
10:50Are you in the trench?
10:52Then jump around the next trench bend or out of the trench.
10:57After school-like individual exercises, partner exercises are to be played.
11:01The duel arouses ambition and enthusiasm.
11:03Wrong!
11:07Here!
11:08If you stay there, you get the splinters right in the cross.
11:12Here, however, the effect of the hand grenade goes over you.
11:16Understood?
11:18Understood?
11:19Yes, officer.
11:20Good.
11:22When striking in the trench, take cover outside.
11:25Or throw the hand grenade back to the enemy in a flat throw.
11:32The combat-like hand grenade duel is to be practiced after complete mastery of the throwing technique.
11:37Trainers and assistants check every movement and every action of the men.
11:43The men receive the last hit in the throw with the sharp hand grenade.
11:49Here is an example of how it can be practiced under combat-like conditions.
11:55Come here.
12:07We throw. You right, I left.
12:13Fire.
12:19Quick shot.
12:20The first.
12:21Begin. March.
12:22The quick shot with the pistol is fired at a distance of 25 to 10 meters.
12:28Fire.
12:30Fire.
12:41Pistol unloaded. Relaxed. Secured.
12:43The next.
12:45Don't tear through the rock, otherwise you won't hit anything.
12:49Fire.
12:51Come around everything.
12:54As soon as there is no time to aim, the German shot is used at the shortest distance.
13:02Also with the German shot, it is curved.
13:06The middle finger on the trigger, the index finger along the barrel.
13:11The index finger gives the pistol barrel the safe direction to the target.
13:16The target.
13:19The possibilities of the attack are diverse.
13:22Pistol put up like this.
13:24Or supported.
13:25The right wrist is firmly grasped with the left hand.
13:30Use the left arm as support while standing during the attack.
13:34Or like this.
13:37Surprisingly appearing targets also produce the fastest reaction.
13:46Fire.
14:03Fire.
14:07Fire.
14:13Unloaded. Relaxed.
14:17Released.
14:19Unloaded. Relaxed.
14:22Secured, Colonel.
14:23Step in. March, march.
14:31As I have just seen from Brauer, we can't practice.
14:35Chasing a whole magazine in the hope that one shot will hit the target is nonsense.
14:40We have to aim with the machine gun as well as with the rifle.
14:44Every shot has to be a hit.
14:48The ammunition tactic that is vital on the front has to be observed here as well.
14:55An MP.
14:56An MP.
15:09We shoot at medium distance with the MP with a shoulder strike.
15:13Left leg in front.
15:14Stem in and push through both knees.
15:16Pull the MP from the front into the shoulder.
15:18Aim and fire shots of three to six shots.
15:29An intrusion against a suddenly appearing enemy.
15:33In the forest, in the village and in the ditch fight, as well as at night,
15:36we shoot from 30 meters away.
15:38In the forest, in the village and in the ditch fight, as well as at night,
15:41we shoot from 30 meters away from the hip.
15:48Left hand on the magazine holder.
15:51Right hand on the grip.
15:54The bent shoulder support is pressed firmly against the body.
15:59Index finger on the trigger.
16:02And how do we aim?
16:04We aim over the barrel and improve the direction of the shot according to the target.
16:08Correct. And so we shoot in the storm without stopping.
16:13If the situation allows it, it is better to act briefly when the shot is fired.
16:17This gives us greater accuracy, as with the machine gun or rifle.
16:26With the MP 44, the German infantryman is given the best and most feared close combat weapon.
16:31It is fought with it in the same way as with the MP 40.
16:34Ready.
16:55Before the break-in, the gunner loads one from the cucumber drum into the cover.
17:05He carries a second cucumber drum on his head.
17:10Unhook the sling on both sides.
17:23The grip is inserted into the sling.
17:27Small guns swing the sling around the grip to shorten it.
17:31Tension the sling.
17:33Right hand on the grip.
17:35Left hand on the bipod.
17:37Fold the bipod together and pull it tight to the body.
17:40So the sling is firmly in the hands.
17:45Stop, Feld!
17:48You have to pull the sling on the bipod firmly to the left.
17:52Otherwise you will lose the force over the weapon in a sharp shot.
18:01The reloading takes place in cover.
18:31The German infantryman is given the best and most feared close combat weapon.
18:55When going into position, raise your muzzle.
18:58First right knee, then put on two legs.
19:01The sling remains on the neck for further use.
19:25The machine gun fire in close combat can be opened to the shortest distance.
19:30With the Lehm G42, a short pause in firing is necessary due to the strong recoil.
19:48Damage eliminated.
19:50Good. But what do you do when you have damage in the attack?
19:53I follow the assault group without firing, Sergeant.
19:56Right. And when do we eliminate the damage?
19:59Immediately after the break-in, in full cover.
20:02Even if you are not assigned as machine gunners,
20:05each individual must master the machine gun as well as his rifle.
20:10It is the weapon of the group and must always be ready for use,
20:15even if the machine gunner has failed.
20:23The shot is faster than any bayonet.
20:26The focus of our training is therefore on the use of firearms and hand grenades.
20:32But it can also happen that we do not have a shot in the barrel and still have to defend ourselves.
20:47Therefore, defensive grips and sticks are practiced.
20:50Defense and attack must quickly follow each other.
20:52In order to avoid injuries, the bare weapon can be replaced by an auxiliary one.
20:58All defensive grips and sticks are to be practiced as a school.
21:02Stop!
21:04Gunner, two rifles.
21:15A new exercise.
21:16Attention!
21:18Remove the rifle.
21:20Hit the enemy's left neck with the piston.
21:31If the rifle, for example, can no longer be used as a strike weapon through stairs,
21:37what can we use to defend ourselves?
21:40With the spades, Officer.
21:42Right. Has anyone ever used it as a melee weapon?
21:46Yes, Officer.
21:48So tell me.
21:50Sit down.
21:53I was MG gunner two.
21:56So I had no rifle.
22:16I was standing behind the MG.
22:21Suddenly a Bolshevik appeared in front of me.
22:24I threw a cartridge in his face, went into cover and shot him down.
22:31Then I jumped into his cover
22:34and was able to kill a second one.
22:40Suddenly a third one died in front of me.
22:46A shell hit.
22:48I hit his liver.
22:50The guy started to stab.
22:52I followed him.
22:54I wanted to shoot.
22:56I had inhibition.
22:58A rifle helped me.
23:00I wanted to stab.
23:02I defended and shot him in the neck with the spade.
23:04So you see that in a melee, the main thing is to arrive at the end quickly.
23:09Deceive, defend and run to the enemy.
23:12When every soldier masters the application of his weapon in melee,
23:17the last step in the front-line application of combined exercises follows.
23:22The decisive power and free choice of all melee weapons
23:26is forced by a clear, well-thought-out layout of a melee line,
23:30by imaginative target representations.
23:33Here is a suggestion.
23:35Trainers.
23:36Use this in the context of the available possibilities.
25:37The German soldier is trained in this way.
25:40He is superior to every enemy in melee.
25:43Self-confident.
25:45Trusting his soldier's ability, these men march back to the front.
25:49Stamina.
25:51Physical strength and perfect weapon control are what distinguish them.
25:55They will defeat every enemy.
