    Yeah, well, my grandad once destroyed a Tiger 2 by throwing a pebble down the barrel - the breech was open, the pebble hit the loader, who dropped a HE shell which blew up.
    Honest!
    :D

    Well, my granddad once had a whole regiment of Germans leave their positions and withdraw to the nearest city by shouting random German orders on a nightly patrol! He is often mistaken for Von Rundstedt when he speaks German!

    Really! ;)

    My grandad, who was a resistance-fighter, once hang a German soldier up-side-down from a tree and beat him up. (not killing him)

    However he also paid with his life for it !.

    (The Gestapo had a good nose for finding people !)

    This is a true story.
