ps. It's not the T-34 doing a wheelie on a trench, though that is pretty wicked

legless screaming man

We have a winner!

Legless screaming man belonged in a Troma movie. All propped up torso, AAAAH AAAAAH AAAAAAAAH!

Hm.. it's an anti-tank gun and a bunch of guys. "We're the artillery!" doesn't mean they're German artillery, it means they're on their own. And they can't do something like this twice.

If "artillery" was a bunch of guys with small arms and mines and *a* mortar, it's no wonder they lost.

no way they are the german cavalry. one of the said they were "horses" at the end.

Syd, I was kidding.

Yow, good point.

In high school I ate up WW2 books, and I could swear I read about a US tank that parked over a Japanese foxhole and suffocated the soldiers with exhaust fumes. I definitely read it, and yeah, sounds dicey to me, but that's the only way you could ever top a foxhole donut for sheer teabag factor.

It's like the armor version of burying you alive in a grave you dug yourself, or so I've heard.

That's what molotov cocktails were invented to do.

Silly Russians, mounting the fuel tanks outside the armour. They were just asking for it.

Actually improvised incendiary devices are still one of the most effective means of infantry destroy armor that doesn't have sealed engine or crew compartments. The light weight and availability of raw materials for construction makes them ideal for the cramped quarters of urban war zones. The beauty is that all that liquid just seeps right into nooks and crannies. FWOOM!

UnderANeonHalo is right; in Iraq I saw a Bradley Fighting Vehicle get hit by an IED full of homemade napalm, which killed both NCOs in the turret as they tried to climb out of the burning vehicle. The driver (separate compartment) managed to escape but could do nothing to help his buddies because the Bradley's ammunition had started to cook off. It took us an hour to recover the bodies. Multimillion-dollar vehicle destroyed by about worth of chemicals.

:(

How is this movie Nazi apologist? In that it depicts German soldiers as human beings?
It's about Wehrmacht conscripts, and there are hardly any Nazis. It was made by a liberal German director in the 80s, at a time when even mentioning Nazism in Germany was considered suspect.

I think there was only 2 or 3 Nazis in the movie, and they were either villains or giving the standard bullshit speech about God that all soldiers get before going off to war.

Stalingrad, a pro-war pro-Nazi propaganda flick.



Jesus are you one dumb motherfucker.
