  • "Note the Nazi Germany soldier sharing his experiences with Stalinist Army, widely practiced cooperation just before the onset of World War II."
    Actually - Russians and Nazis together started WWII by attacking Poland.
    Read more

  • exactly, they even signed a pact who will take which part of this country
    Read more

  • Yes, what's more, there is even a school of thought that maintains that Hitler attacked Russian in a preemptive effort not to be attacked himself by "world revolution"-crazed Stalin. See here
    Read more

  • The KV-VI Behemoth is a hoax. But the story is great entertainment though.
    Read more

  • ,,By the way, on the bottom left is one of the Hitler's macho dreams - the Maus. This would give you some idea what unspeakable scale was projected for the Soviet "Bolshevik" tank from 1932.''

    Actually, it's the other way round: left-bottom corner silhouette depicts the Kollosalwagen, whereas the Maus can be seen on the right.

  • I have seen film of Fiat tanks that look like a bathtub with two guys and a machine gun, 22 hp topolino motor and no suspension.

    They were shown going down hill, only!

  • Thank you guys, great info!

  • Rocket firing Sovjet tanks are not very special. After the experimental types ALL russian tanks sported 125 mm, or bigger, SMOOTH bore cannons that fired either fin stabilized grenades or sabots or guided rockets.
    The Germans had a siege tank, the Sturmtiger, that was armored with halve a foot of steel on the front, that drove up to a bunker and fired a 38 cm rocket, at point blank range in the bunker, penetrating 2.5 meters of reinforced concrete, destroying it.
    As for the Russian and German soldier shown together: the first pacts between Stalin and Hitler entailed a joined development of tanks and tank warfare strategies during which training bouts the germans actually kept up with the pace of the Allied tank armies, which had been forbidden by the treaty of Versailles.
    www.achtungpantzer.com for all details on all german tanks (although it doesn't have the ball tank on it)

  • With respect to the A7V, your joke about stormtroopers is unfortunate. It took me a while to figure out you meant the Star Wars Stormtroopers and not the WW1 Stosstruppen or the Nazi Sturmabteilung. You have to allow that some of your readers' references go back a little farther than the last 15 hours!

  • Uhm... avi abrams...
    And the Japanese attacked PH in order to anticipate the bloody expansion of the paranoid US. The history showed they're write. to bad for them.

  • The Fahrpanzer or a close derivative appears on a book in my collection. "Permanent Fortification" by Lt Col G J Feibeger of West Point (1900),it appears to be a manual for West Point Cadets. Thank you for publishing the photos, it has assisted my efforts immesurably.

  • The oversize multi-turreted tanks are explicable; when the internal combustion engine was new, people envisaged "land ships"; terrestrial versions of Naval battleships. That there would be an upper practical weight of about 50 tonnes for tanks, was not obvious.

    See this prediction from 1900:
    "Huge forts on wheels will dash across open spaces at the speed of express trains of to-day. They will make what are now known as cavalry charges."

  • That tank with all those legs really is the most awesome tank I've ever seen! Now we just need to get someone to make it into reality...

  • It's not a MC-1, it's a MS-1. You can find the tank in the game "World of Tanks".

  • Every survival training I have seen says "Drinking your own urine will only make you thirstier" It's too salty.
    Read more

  • Yes, maybe some shows are fake or untrue, but the show itself is prepared bloody good!

  • i also have caught a couple episodes of this show and I was not impressed. It is a rip-off of a great Canadian show

  • Survivorman is genuinely great, it feels and IS all real. Plus survival advices he gives are in fact quite clever and, uhm, helpful. Bear's are dumb, aimed to sound terrifying/disgusting, and sometimes even dangerous to your health (like the one about drinking pee).
    Read more

  • Survivorman is much better ... he's got a safety crew somewhere but has to hump all his own camera gear on top of making it through.
    Read more

  • Bear Grills would rip off survivor man's testicals, eat them raw and wash them down with his own pee.
    Read more

  • Bear, the Eaton boy and son of the late Conservative parliament member has people to do the washing for him.
    Read more

  • Yeah.. Bear's a joke http://www.daughtersoftiresias.org/bearwiki/TV_%27survival_king%27_stayed_in_hotels

  • I never did much like that show, with Bear Grills. I never thought it was fully truthful. So glad I never got into watching it. lol

  • The top three pics weren't the cranes fault....it was on a flatbed trailer and the driver of the rig went under a bridge that is too low....

    The crane hooked the first part then went up and through as the driver pulled it in.

    By the way....I love DRB!
