[QUOTE="cjjtulsa, post: 1775015, member: 6146"] For a short time early in the war. The Russians learned to direct their fire in the direction of the sound, so the German crews quickly lost the sirens. The Germans also had a biplane when the war started, the Hs-123. When the 123’s radial engine hit a certain RPM, it sounded like loud gunfire. The sound so scared the Polish troops that they would scatter for cover, thinking they were getting shot all to sh*t, when it was just the engine. So the Germans learned to just hit that “sweet spot” when diving on the Poles, and it caused more chaos than the guns. Don’t know if that’s what inspired part of the Stuka’s siren concept, but it was effective. [/QUOTE]
