Oddly, I've noticed that reference to "gum chewing" americans a lot.  Never understood why, but the germans in WW2 looked down on "gum chewing" xD
The americans probably sneaked into German barracks at night and stuck gum under tables and into sleeping soldiers hair.


British soldiers take cover from German shelling in a shallow trench during the breakout. The trench is similar to many which were dug along the opposing front lines during the lifetime of the bridgehead.

Because it looks ridicolous... like cows standing on a meadow.

Wounded finn being pulled on a sled in the village of Karhumäki very near to the lines where the finnish attacks in 41 and 42 were halted to at Maaselkä. Photo is from during the Red Army counterattack on Maaselkä and Syväri in the winter 41-42, close to the time when Mannerheim halted finnish movements on their tracks.

A blazing German troop-carrier (JU-52), hit by machine-gun fire from an entrenchment adjacent to the bombed area during the invasion of Crete, May 1941. Parachute troops and equipment are seen descending.

The Autoblinda 41 was one of the few successive designs of the italians. After the fall even the germans kept producing it. Would be cool to have this and probably be as good as the british Daimler.
