Pretty ridiculous to see Alexandria and Nowogorodka in the same direction. Propaganda at its best.


Soldier 1: "I can see her! She must be barely 17."
Soldier 2: "Wow. Have you seen her *****?"
Soldier 3: "Herr Major, can I have a look?
Soldier 4: "Nono, with those ***** she must be 18 already."
Soldier 5: "Dammit, I don't see anything down here."

I usually imagine my own sounds with it, like `tjunk, tupdieyupdiedee` aaa enemy spotted, ratatatataboom

They mass-use disabled tanks hull+turrets as a armored train parts. T-34 1941 production in Kubinka tank museum - ex-piece of german armored train. He used without engine, tracks and wheels, just hull+turret on the flatcar.

If anyone has the picture of the German firing an MG42 from the hip handy, I'd appreciate it if you could post me a link. Cheers.

LVT(A)-1, I think. As it has a turret and the Americans where fond of flamethrowers in the Pacific.

"The most common Finnish artillery was a 76 millimeter gun dating back to around the year 1902 (76 K 02). The gun stands as camouflaged in the city of Viipuri in March 1940"
