Early attempts at remote control were proving successfull, however there were still issues of recoil kick.

After the mauling the over engineered Panzer3 and Tigers took at the hands of the simpler Shermans, the latest offering from Krupps for lightness and simplicity showed promise


In an effort to hide the armoured vehicles from the maurading allied tankbuster aircraft the high command adopted one of Adolfs brighter ideas.

Tranche 4 cuts replaced Army Soldiers with Jackasses to save cash, they threw the donkey in for free.

Or

Private Vilhelm's picture taken prior to being drummed out of the 5th Alpine division, on taking up position on the firing range and the order "cock it" being misunderstood, he brought a smile to his donkeys face but shame on the regiment.

Having heard of the successful escape by the British by tunnelling under a wooden horse, Private Schultz shows off the Wooden Donkey confiscated from Irish POW's under which they planned to dig a smaller tunnel.
