For the tank guys
« on: January 05, 2012, 02:37:08 PM »
I'm reading the English translation of "Tigers In The Mud" by Otto Carius, a highly decorated WWII German tank commander.  Fascinating, and it has confirmed for me that I don't want to be in a tank crew in the afterlife  :o

Me too. And not in a U-Boat either. I love daylight.

If I got to be in a Panther, I might hang in an afterlife tank crew.
