very cool!

nearby my old house in chicago, there was an artist who sculpted different things from snow and ice each winter in his front yard which was located on a busy street, for everyone passing by to see.

Soviet tanker: "These tanks are made of snow, Comrade Commissar! Why are we using snow instead of real tanks?"

Commissar: "Because real tanks are valuable! In fact, they are worth a lot more than you are!"

Question: would a tank - or at least tank destroyer or APC, which don't need to be as well-armoured - made out of pykrite (a la HMS Habakkuk) have been a viable option in the Eastern Front? Saves a lot of strategic resources and it's not like a Soviet tank made in the autumn would be likely to survive into the spring anyway...
