To: 1066AD
all the dead Ivans had their lungs exploded inside their bodies; there was no visible sign of artillery impacts, craters, or torn and twisted steel. Their guns were still manned, the loaders still had shells in their hands, but everybody was dead. We were ordered never to speak of what we had seen, that a new kind of weapon (but not poison gas) had been tried out, with devastating results.Sounds vaguely like what happens when several batteries of Nebelwerfers land in a confined area.
