Interesting how the fence lines stand out in those winter aerial photos

Thank goodness it's illegal to wear shorts like that in our enlightened age.  

Cheers - Phil

The prosecution rests its case.

From 1968, High School children in the Soviet Union had to take basic military classes as part of their schooling, including first aid, gas drills and basic firearms training, for both girls and boys.  This girl is learning to strip and re-assemble an RPK light machine gun, essentially the SAW version of the AK series assault rifle


Well I would have preferred that than bloomin' crop rotation!

Not glamourous, but crop rotation makes the world a better place. Weapons, however....

Brilliant

Gimme strength.

A collection of Polish Beutepanzers in a park in Berlin as photographed post VE day.

Front to back: a 7TP with a hole in the front, TKS-NKM tankette, a FT-17, and another 7TP.
It's unlikely these were actually used during the Defence of Berlin but it's possible.

Originally from an exhibition at the Zeughaus on Unter den Linden, these vehicles were meant as a show of trophies from the 'Der Feldzug in Polen' exposition which opened in 1940.

[Techno II]

How many men fitted in the middle one ? 

Cheers - Phil

[fsn]

Two. They are very cute.  

Three in the 7TP and two in the FT17.

You can even fit an over 6' tall Irishman in a TKS, I can't think why this would be such a highly requested video

He climbs in at about 14:30

Agreed unless used to provide food. But "In the world of the blind........."
