    i will go with, dang I am not shure which one to choose. This may come as a shock, but I love Winston. I will ally with GB. So I will go with the Allied Crew.

    Sherman will need to be modified:
    External holsters (for Patton's pistols)
    Extra-large hatches (for Churchill)
    Chairlift (obvious)
    Extra storage space (for MacArthur's ego)

    Did you really mean to put the Germans in a Sherman as well?
    If so:
    Modified optics (for Himmler)
    Spare ball holder (obvious)
    ...

    Why would leaders / field commanders crew a tank themselves? As pointed out repeatedly, they are the strategists and tacticians -- the poor bloody sodjers do the actual fighting. Otherwise we could extend it to:
    If Goering was in a Bf109 and Dowding in a Spitfire, who would have won the BoB?

    Dowding. All that extra weight would cripple the 109's performance. :D

    Would the infamously larger than life Goering even fit into the B109's famously cramped cockpit? :eek:

    Given a shoehorn and some lubricant - yes. But I doubt he would be able to move his arms much.

    god knows

    While we are on serious disscusions here is my two-pennoth,
    'I'd back Rin-Tin-Tin against 'Blondi' anytime, or possibly only until
    the fratanising ban came off.'
    Oh Ossie, you'd need the extra smoke extractors for Winston.
    OMG! what a load of rubbish!
    PS. Knowing of Goerings little habits he'd probably like the shoe horn & lubricant treatment! Allo Allo!!

    Where in heavens' name would Goering store his Field Marshals' baton in that cramped cockpit?
    (I can think of one obvious place, but I expect his parachute would be in the way!)
    har-de-har.
    I was thinking he should have been confined to He-111s exclusively. That way if his plane went down in the channel, his mates could use him as a rubber-raft til rescued. Goering would float wouldn't he?
    :eek:

    I'd put my money on Blondi, from what I heard she was a total bitch... ;)
