A NIGHTMARE for Germans and Japanese on the battlefield and in the trenches!

The Thompson did things at close range that enemies remembered very quickly. Many knew it as a gangster gun, but in war it became something else entirely — heavy, brutal, and extremely dangerous up close. You may be surprised how terrifying it could be in jungles, trenches, buildings, and near fortified positions. When the distance dropped to just a few meters, the Thompson gave a soldier dense firepower and a chance to end the fight before the enemy could react. #WW2 #Thompson #PacificWar #WWIIWeapons
