The text of the order
ORDER
COMMISSIONER OF NATIONAL DEFENSE OF THE UNION
� 227
"28" July 1942
Moscow

The enemy throws at the front of new forces, regardless of the loss of a large for him, climbing down,
Rushes into the depths of the Soviet Union, captures new areas, destroying our cities and villages, raping, plundering and killing the Soviet population. There are fights in the Voronezh area, on the Don, in the south gate of the North Caucasus. German invaders penetrate toward Stalingrad, to Volga, want at any cost to trap Kuban and the North Caucasus with their oil and grain. The enemy has already captured Voroshilovgrad, Starobelsk, Rossosh, Kupyansk, Valuyki, Novocherkassk, Rostov-on-Don, half of Voronezh. After the loss of Ukraine, Byelorussia, the Baltic, the Donets Basin and other areas we have much less territory. We have lost more than 70 million people, more than 800 million tons of grain and more than 10 million tons of steel per year. We have already now the predominance over the Germans in human resources or in the stocks of grain. Retreat further - means to ruin themselves and ruin at the same time our country. It is necessary to eliminate talk that we are able to retreat without end that have a lot of territory, that our country is great and rich, a lot of people, there will always be bread in abundance. Such conversations are false and harmful, they weaken us and strengthen the enemy, because if you do not stop the retreat will be without bread, without fuel, without metal, without raw materials, without factories and plants, without railways. From this it follows that it is time to end the retreat. No step back! Such should now be our grand prize! What are we missing? There is no order and discipline in companies, battalions, regiments, divisions, in tank units and air squadrons. This is our main deficiency. We must establish in our army the most stringent order and discipline, if we want to save the situation and defend our homeland. Alarmists and shorts should be exterminated on the spot. From now on the iron law of discipline for each commander, Red Army soldier, and commissar should be a requirement:"No step back!"without order from higher command. The only reason for leaving a position can only be death!
When the loosened discipline, the Germans took some strict measures that led to good results in the German army. They have formed more than 100 companies from soldiers and about ten penal battalions from commanders guilty of breaches of discipline. And our troops with the purpose of protecting the abused Motherland do not have the discipline and defeated.
Order: Form within each Front from one to three fine battalions of eight people. Form within the army of five to ten penal companies up to two hundred people each, to give them an opportunity to redeem by blood their crimes against the Motherland.
Commanders and commissars to bring to all the fronts, armies, connections, fleets, divisions, battalions, companies and platoons!
Defense Commissar of the USSR STALIN

I think this historical background is pertinent here. And if not - sorry. :) After all these projects are widely known.

What country in vain spent money during the Second World War?
Britannia
This island country lacked the vital resources, such as iron, aluminum, copper. War devours everything, and once the British had the idea ... Make a ship made of ice! Generally, the first who wanted to make zhto were Germans. But they realized that it was ... strange, is it? Well and quickly turned the project. Britain, too, poeksprementirovav, and realizing that the aircraft carrier is useless, they turned development.
Noo! Early to rejoice! Jeffrey Pike dealing with obledeeeniya ships, proposed a project to build ships of paykerita. Pykrete - a mixture of sawdust and ice ... And, this mixture was solid as concrete.
As a result, Pike was sent to Canada with this project, which is planned to be completed in 1944, but spending a lot of iron, aluminum and steel, he realized that he was in this date will not be able to build. And by that time I was no longer a need for aircraft carriers (increased range of aircraft flight), and the project was canceled.
ship prototype rasstajal three years later - in 1947.


Germany
On the next useless investing is best says: "A great work of art, however, is useless." We are talking about Gustav. There have been three, but a gun was not used, and the other was not even completed, so we will consider only one.

• The year was spent on designing weapons.
• 4 years to build.
The plan was to use this miracle weapon during the assault on Sevastopol.
For transportation on the battlefield took:

• 4 weeks 1,500 workers were preparing the area for transport.
• 5 (!) Trains. First train 43 train attendants. Second train 16 cars with the construction equipment for the construction. 3rd: 17 parts of cars. 4th: 20 cars to bring the gun barrel itself. 5th Train: 10 carriages with shells, which was supported by an artificial climate.
• 4000 officers and soldiers guarded all this.
• On 1 shot 1-2 tons of spent gunpowder!
In one hour, I managed to shoot at best, twice! Total shots were made 48. At the same time, the report on the work, which had information about the hit, the Germans were even surprised that hit (wrote: "A direct hit?").



the USSR
Dogs-mines. Everyone knows about the dogs, who allegedly threw themselves under the tanks with mines on their backs, and undermined them. Sounds great and heroic, but in reality it is much more complicated ... Mina adopted have not, and good.
What is the process of training? Morim dog hunger, then feed it under the car. Repeat until you have developed a reflex. But to recreate the battle at the same time it will not work. And so, during the fight, the dog is sent to a tank. But the fight goes something out there to worry about. And the dog just ... run away. The instinct of self-preservation. But there is a downside: practicing something on Soviet armor. And the dog could just bring explosives under a Soviet tank. Therefore, mine was never put into service.



France
The French are also not left behind. They spent money on useless Maginot Line. They stepped on the same rake as in WWI - the English Channel did not extend the line, and then - through Belgium Germany easily surpassed the infamous defense, and France quickly fell.
