Hi,
We often view glass as an item of beauty, admire the form, the skill of the maker, and so forth.
In conversation with Glen, I, for the first time in my life, met the phrase "glass weaponry", when I asked why, rather than production going down at Inwald's Rudolfova Hut'. it more than trebled between 1939 and 1942, from 5,500 tonnes to 18,000 tonnes.
The answer was in items such as anti-personnel mines, and such items were made by both Inwald and Brockwitz to support the Nazi war effort. (It was described as utility glass).
So, although perhaps a less than tasteful area of discussion, was every country engaged in manufacturing such items, such as Davidson, and Moncrieff, orCorning and Westmoreland?
I think, perhaps a much over-looked subject, but of glass interest, nonetheless.
Regards,
Marcus
