    That's bad faith and you know it. Look closely and you'll see some sophisticated metal fittings on the side of the boxes, and the doors themselves seem to be lockpick proof. The birds follow a very rational diet, with vitamins and steroids added. The PHD (Pigeon Homing Devices) are embedded in conformal pods under the belly. These pigeons also underwent specialised training in dropping gravity projectiles on human targets.

    Here's a picture of a pigeon training ground belonging to the Regio Esercito.

    [​IMG]The bulk of the German Army—the dough feet of the normal infantry divisions—moved on shank's mare. The rifle companies' transport consisted of three-horse wagons, on which the troops loaded their packs, as did this outfit on campaign in Russia in the summer of 1941.

    They did, they underwent training to stick their tongues into their cheeks :cool:

    What about Napoleon's Imperial Guard? Not a single motor vehicle in sight...

    Alright, smarty-pants.


    Well, IMUWO, any non-fully mechanised psot-1918 is way uncool.

    Happy?

    One of the points is that despite what some posters think the German military was NOT the high tech force throughout the war. That the Germans had to use low tech equiptment like the horse and pigeons from the biginning of the war to the very end. Of course you didn't get that LOL.:rolleyes: . The same could be said of the Soviets and the Japanese.
