Bazooka Joe

Bazookas, man-made portable rocket launchers, used first by the US Army, were one of the major innovations of the War. The Germans captured several in North Africa and soon had versions of their own. The name "bazooka" comes from a musical instrument. The Germans called their version a panzerschreck.

The Turn Colt

Imagine a highly successful American gun like the Colt M1911 Pistol. Imagine it used against us in war. That was the case of the "Kongsberg Colt," a version of the gun made in Norway. When the Nazis invaded that Scandinavian country in 1940 they took over the pistol factory at Kongsberg and continued making Colts until the war ended.
