Historical reference

Vikings is the modern name given to seafaring Norse pirates from southern Scandinavia (present-day Denmark, Norway and Sweden) who from the late 8th to the late 11th centuries raided, pirated, traded and settled throughout parts of Europe. They also voyaged as far as the Mediterranean, North Africa, the Middle East, and North America. In some of the countries they raided and settled in, this period is popularly known as the Viking Age, and the term "Viking" also commonly includes the inhabitants of the Norse homelands as a collective whole. The Vikings had a profound impact on the Early medieval history of Scandinavia, the British Isles, France, Estonia, and Kievan Rus'.

Expert sailors and navigators aboard their characteristic longships, Vikings established Norse settlements and governments in the British Isles, Ireland, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, Normandy, the Baltic coast, and along the Dnieper and Volga trade routes in what is now European Russia, Belarus and Ukraine (where they were also known as Varangians). The Normans, Norse-Gaels, Rus' people, Faroese and Icelanders emerged from these Norse colonies. The Vikings also voyaged to Constantinople, Iran, and Arabia. They were the first Europeans to reach North America, briefly settling in Newfoundland (Vinland). While spreading Norse culture to foreign lands, they simultaneously brought home slaves, concubines and foreign cultural influences to Scandinavia, profoundly influencing the genetic and historical development of both. During the Viking Age the Norse homelands were gradually consolidated from smaller kingdoms into three larger kingdoms: Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

The Vikings spoke Old Norse and made inscriptions in runes. For most of the period they followed the Old Norse religion, but later became Christians. The Vikings had their own laws, art and architecture. Most Vikings were also farmers, fishermen, craftsmen and traders. Popular conceptions of the Vikings often strongly differ from the complex, advanced civilisation of the Norsemen that emerges from archaeology and historical sources. A romanticised picture of Vikings as noble savages began to emerge in the 18th century; this developed and became widely propagated during the 19th-century Viking revival. Perceived views of the Vikings as violent, piratical heathens or as intrepid adventurers owe much to conflicting varieties of the modern Viking myth that had taken shape by the early 20th century. Current popular representations of the Vikings are typically based on cultural clichés and stereotypes, complicating modern appreciation of the Viking legacy. These representations are rarely accurate—for example, there is no evidence that they wore horned helmets, a costume element that first appeared in Wagnerian opera.

Результати перекладуThe first robots from the leg of the "Tiger" reigned in 1938. Until the moment, there were no important tanks on the Wehrmacht, similar to those of the Radiansk T-35 or French Char B1. On the other hand, in the planning of the new doctrine (vyprobuvanіy pіznіshe in Poland and France), it is practically not a problem for important, low-deteriorating cars, so we can help those who are so kind of a tank to reach this kind of tank. Tim is no less, Erwin Aders, one of the leading designers of the company "Henschel", who hailed the project of a 30-ton "tank to cut through" (Durchbruchwagen). Stretching 1939-1941 rr. Firma "Henschel" had two previous experiences, from the designated DW1 and DW2. The first of the prototypes was not maw bashty, the other was installed basta from the serial PzKpfw IV. Tovschina armored prototypes did not perevischuval 50 mm. With the invasion of the Third Reich at the Radiansky Union, it became obvious that the Wehrmacht's tank fleet needed to be able to make the tank more powerful. Nice medium tank Panzer IV Ausf. E-F signifiedly sacrificing for the main characteristics of the Radiansk medium tank (in the Nimetsky classifications of the quiet rockies of the Mittlererschwerer - medium-important) T-34 sp. 1941. The Wehrmacht did not have an analogue of the KV-1. Hoca for rakhunok visokoї maysternostі ekіpazhіv, good nasichennya Tank Chastain artilerієyu suprovodu, vіdmіnnoї vzaєmodії of avіatsієyu nіmetskі vіyska bіlsh nіzh uspіshno vivodili of harmony Yak T-34, so i HF, in znachnіy kіlkostі boyovih epіzodіv at the hands of literacy Radyans'ka tankіstіv tridtsyatchetvіrki i HF naochno shown , it’s a good look, the change in ergonomics still doesn’t compensate for the poorer armor and health of the Panzer IV Ausf. E-F. In the midst of chaos and rogue in the Radiansk command, the cars became more threatening for the soldiers of the Wehrmacht. In addition, in the course of the battle, the nimetsy vіyskami were often told to stick out because of the advance prepared by the enemy’s defense, because the need for an important tank wasn’t going to get lost. The solution of the emerging buildings was divided into two straight lines - the modernization of the already existing armored vehicles (Panzer III and Panzer IV) and the acceleration of its analogue of the Radiansky KV-1. In an unprecedented attempt to attack the SRCP by the design bureau of two types of car and car companies - "Henschel" and "Porsche" - tactical and technical vimogi were sent for an important tank to cut the design weight of 45 tons. The ordered head of the first design bureau, Yervin Aders, also had a significant baggage for DW1 and DW2, and for Ferdinand Porsche, he got away with his rivals, just having tried himself in tanks. The presentation of the previous images was assigned to the day of the Fuhrer's People's Day - April 20, 1942, to the rock, an hour to release and induce prototypes of bulo nebagato. Yervin Aders and the sportsmen of the 1st design bureau went on the traditional path of the German tank-training school, vibrating for a new important tank the same layout as that of the Panzer IV, having stuck on the tank the new "mine leader" of the designer G. Kn_pka Prior to that, it was stagnant only on tractors and armored personnel carriers of the company "Ganomag", the victorian for the tank became a novelty for the new tank. With such a rank, it was successfully achieved to improve the smoothness of the ride, and also to improve the accuracy of the shooting on the go. Ferdinand Porsche, who at that time saw innovative robots in a car (including a sports car), trying to move his pidhid to a new one. On the first prototype, there have been realized such solutions, as highly effective later torsion in the systems of drive and electrical transmission. However, at the time of the prototype of the company "Henschel", the car of F. Porsche was structurally foldable and vimagal of more scarce materials, a zokrem midi. A bashta appeared on the last building in the distance, yaku, without any special changes, “competition” appeared. Following the results of the demonstration of prototypes to the Fuhrer and the upcoming tests at the Kummersdorf polygon, the third Reich's capital was taken by the prototype of the company "Henschel", unaffected by the intercessor of Fuhrer F. Porsche. On the name of the PzKpfw VI Ausf. H "Tiger" for launches in the middle of the world. The total number of cars produced is 1355 units.
