    Usually If You Don't Annoy Them They Won't Sting......At My Old Property I Had A Pool And When I Was

    Floating On An Air Bed Hornets Would Land On My Stomach And Drink Water From My Navel......

    Same With Most Stingers......Leave Them Alone To Do Their Thing.....And Nobody

    Gets Hurt.....:smilecat:

    It’s always refreshing to see someone of German heritage embracing their past, it gives me goose pimples just thinking about it

    Well my granddaddy used to fight in them, so always been close to my heart. I've always liked tanks, I remember as a kid he'd take us out to the military fairs and i even got to drive around with him. Okay I don't really remember all that much but my folks used to talk about it when he was still alive lol. "Jocelyn do you remember the time I took and your dad in the tank?" I remember bits and pieces. And the big Tiger was my favorite it's all box and angry.

    Typical German WW2 vehicle though, all cannon and armour and zero fuel economy I mean it was so bad you could easily acertain that the East was lost specifically because of how bad their fuel economy was. Toward the end they just had to abandon them and blow them up.

    My favorite is a StuGIII it is on I believe the chassis of a Tiger II but the turret was anchored in one position. They called them Stűrmgeschűtz, used to blow away Russian armour. It wasn't the Tiger they were afraid of. It was the StuGIII.

    Then of course the Panther made its debut at the end of the war which was a sexy beast too but not many actually made it into battle.

    This sounds and looks a lot better in German than it does English but I can translate.

    "I saw them just before they threw themselves in front of the enemy. These young tank grenadiers made a great image in their short, black with silver decorated coat uniforms. They were standing in their tank formation and knew that they were driving toward death. Many of them proudly displaying the band with big, black silver knights cross. Shining targets for the enemy. Not one of these excellent warriors seemed heated or moved. They rolled on their chains and through the snow and the taste Glen of enemy retreat. No one came back. No tank, no man. Orders were orders. To win one hour, this hour, which maybe could save ten thousand soldiers of the Reich and Europe, the German tank solders died until theast man south of Chanerovka on the morning of Feb 17, 1944." ~ SS Panzer 5th Division Wiking.

    ^^^That’s the whole point of this scene it was supposed to make light of Clint Eastwood’s spaghetti westerns ^^^
    Kelly’s Heroes is after all a comedy.

    I have some epic house-cleaning to do to today. Place is an absolute tip. There's so much rubbish everywhere we're gonna have to bag it up and drive it to the municipal dump.

    It's Peter's birthday on Wednesday. We'll go for a curry in Bangla Town, Brick Lane.

    I found my remote control. Battery charger is cactus though. So I need to get a new one. For a second the turret moved and the lights came on so I think it still operational.

    The advantage of sitting on a tractor under the influence is that when the cops try to pull you over you can go off road and they can't follow you easily in their car.
    Disadvantage is obviously the max. speed...
