Why German Snipers Started Fearing The Dark M3 Grease Gun's Terrifying Secret

February 14 1945. The Hurtgen Forest along the German Belgian border lay frozen and silent under a moonless winter sky. Oberschutze Heinrich Muller pressed his entire body against the snow covered earth inside his carefully camouflaged sniper position. He had held this exact spot for three consecutive nights watching the American lines 200 meters away. His K98k rifle rested directly in front of him loaded and ready. At 0230 hours he heard something that made his breathing stop. The sound was almost nothing. A faint metallic whisper. Then another. Then silence. Muller strained his ears. American submachine guns announced themselves with harsh bolts and loud reports that lit the night. These sounds were different. Barely audible. No muzzle flash pierced the darkness. He heard a wet thump to his left. His spotter made no sound. Muller turned his head. Empty space. He never saw his killer. What Muller did not know was that he faced a weapon designed specifically to solve a problem American forces discovered during night combat. This is the story of how American engineers created a submachine gun so quiet and deadly at night that German snipers began requesting transfers from nocturnal frontline duties.BEFORE WE DIVE INTO VIDEO SUBSCRIBE OUR CHANNEL.
