For the diehard tank fan
 
Anyone for an original Tiger tank manual?

I'd love it myself.

True, but did it make more of the crew pay attention to the book than the dry as dust TM for the Sherman or any other Allied manual? Remember that almost all Allied services created cartoon or humourous publications to get the attention of those who normally wouldn't "look in the book".

But which would be more accepted by crews as a Target for engaging the Enemy with MG fire?

hahahaha chicks in baths with breasts on show must have been considered hard core porn in those days :) The germans had strange but brilliant ways of doing things. and i cant respect they're engineering prowess enough. Shame one bloke made such a bad reputation for all germans.

excelent book by the way !
