Looks like the wooden bridge that french tank was driving over could not take its weight and moved a bit to the side. Becouse it was freezing and there was ice on the bridge the tank just slid of it into the river.

Best i can think of.

German officer with a captured AS-44 assualt rifle.  The AS-44 was a russian assualt rifle that would have probably become what the AK-47 became if not for the designer dying in 1945.  It was only used in prototype testing, and its hard to say how this German officer got a hold of one, as as far as I know, they were never field tested.

I wonder whether the guy on the right is actually a dealing officer or the tank commander in response. With the arms akimbo he looks very concerned.

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

"Second Army Tennessee Maneuvers.  3 miles west of Watertown. As an addition to the battalion's defense, HQ Co. of the 5th Armd Maint Bn developed an idea thought up by Ordernance Sgt. Magazine. The 37mm gun is the only field weapon alloted for the battalion's defense.  To increase firepower, a 50 cal. Machine gun was mounted on the front of the 37mm gun vehicle. All parts were made and mounted by HQ personnel.  (6 Jun 43) Signal Corps Photo: 164-0012-43-204  (Pvt. J. F. Albert)"

A WC-52 With a .50 cal machine gun and 37mm AT gun, we need this in FH2..
