Not a picture, but a very interesting video about American weapons used in WW2 and their effect (I didn´t wanted to create a new thread for this vid ;)):

And so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

In west Hamburg born and raised
On the battleground where I spent most of my days
Killin' out, aimin', reloading all tense
And all shootin' some Russians outside of my trench

Well, as you can see, there is also a traditional Finnish board bridge troll watching him cross.

The commander and the fighters. General Steiner shaking hands with Finnish volunteers in June 1943. To his right is the battalion commander, Colonel Hans Collani. He was killed in action in Estonia in 1944. Collani is buried in a German military cemetary in Tallinn, Estonia, a Baltic nation just south of Finland.

Errr I hope we all atleast heard of Estonia, got an idea of where it's more or less located or be able to point it out on the map. Those forumers who live in Europe and attended school there sure can... hehe.

I remember drilling it in at scool quite well: Estland, Letland, Litouwen ( Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania). :p
