Loving the pictures,

@ Taranov,
 Do you have pictures of corduroy roads or other field expedient solutions that the germans used to get out of that kind of mud.

@ Dukat,
 kudos yet again for your theme

It wouldn't be too hard to confuse that picture with one from 1812!
Its hard to believe the photo was taken during the same conflict in which the likes of cruise missiles and jets were starting to make their appearance.

Seriously, ive just spent the last half an hour pissing myself laughing thinking about captions for that picture. Never has a World War 2 picture provided me with such hilarity  ;D

That's a KT right? Which turret version is that?

Porsche, that photo is from Normandy (remember, the areas south of Caen actually had big fields instead of hedgerows:P)

Porsche went from making KT tank turrets to making some awesome cars? Hmmm, why the change from the original turret?

Because the nice slope on the front also sloped at the bottom, much like the early Panther turrets, created a shot trap and deflecting a shell downwards into the thin armour on top of the hull, knocking it out :P  The Henschel turret corrected this by making a simple flat, back angled surface, that was flush with the hull.
