I guess I should have read through the rest of the replies first before I posted - my point has already been made (with links no less).

Thanks for that though, nice post.

The Germans issued a Butcher Blade Bayonet that had versions with a saw back on it. Allied troops disliked it so much they threatened to mutilate Germans they found with it. Many of the Germans ground down the saw kerfs off the ones they had, so the story goes.

I often read the story and then post with the idea of seeing how many others made any or all of my points before . Get’s a little depressing at times...
