    On the third day of Christmas, my Fuhrer gave to me,
    Three Deutches Madchen,
    Two Iron Crosses,
    And a Tiger in the arm-ee

    The Germans sent a Tiger to Japan for testing and providing inspiration. The Japanese had no clue what to do with it.

    Germany's last secret weapon on the east front was this decoy tiger. The crew would drive to the russian lines, surrender (with hands up in the air). In the 5 minutes that the russian soldiers were deciding (mostly in the form of fighting) who got to escort them to a POW-camp for interogation, the main force would attack.
    Luckly for the Russians, only one was ready at the end of the war.
    Testing on 16 dec. 1944 in the ardennens prooved very succesfull until the girls saw blue from the cold

    hmm, I guess it´s an old remaining Tiger Tank, which was send as gift to North Vietnam by the DDR. And you see some of Charlies charming female officers here, while they´re hedding to Saigon.

    BTW is it a prejudices that all asian peoples are so small, I´ve never known that they were exactly in the scale of 1/16 to drive Tamiya´s tanks :D :kill:

    Regards,
    Che.

    Churchill crews sometimes suffered from 'churchill finger', this occured when the square fitting turret hatch came down on the finger/thumb owing to a badly designed catch,........ my eyes water at the thought of what could happen to those poor girls........especially in the cold of the Ardennes, ....it does not paint a pretty picture Quillin!!! OUCH! :oops:
    The mädchen would lose more than the 'umlaut' Ossian!! :roll:

    When I walked into this thread I saw all these bags standing by the door marked "dignity", but I brought mine in anyway, is that all right?
