Agreed, my first thought as well, also I think if looks could kill, that horse would have slayed the photographer right then and there.

RE: Post 11088

WOW, it took me a second to see it but that PzIV(?) took one hell of a hit right in the upper front plate area.

Also I'm quite intrigued/moved by that pic, hope you don't mind but I snagged that one, perhaps it's the G.I. in the halftrak looking at the dusted panzer as they drive by, don't know.

Oh no he's not!!!!

Sorry, couldn't resist

Clearly, neither could I. Yeah, I know...coat time again.

P.S. Not entirely sure that pantomime translates well outside the British Isles...but, then again, some people could use some edjumacating!

K125 was built in Port Arthur (now Thunder Bay ON on Lake Superior) and commissioned June 29 1941. It had to make an ~2500mi inland waterway (mostly) journey to reach Halifax NS.

43,000 Germans are paraded into slavery in Moscow after Operation Bagration, June 22, 1944

Many of the Germans had acute bowel issues from the spotty diet and

that was just part of the humiliation show the Russians appreciated.
