Can you imagine the euphoria in going from a Blenheim to a Mosquito.

Please, don't exaggerate... a Wartburg was enough for many.

Ah, yes, I forgot about the 'Warty' ! The car with a name that sounds like the type of beer a Hippocroccofrog would drink !!!

The crew of an M16 MGMC examine an abandoned 7.3 cm "Föhn" Multiple Rocket Launcher near Erpel, Germany. March 1945.

Note: "Föhn" is a warm dry wind which sweeps over the Alps. The weapon was used for anti-aircraft barrages and to contest river crossings (Erpel being on the East bank of the Rhine opposite Remagen).
