Soldiers from the Royal Regina Rifles of Canada clear a building during the battle for Caen.
I'm surprised to see a motorcycle courier participating in the fray and the other fellow in the background with a beret, holding up his bike.

After the war, Willy et al were forbidden from making aircraft for a time, Willy ended up doing two years for using slave labour during the war. The company survived by making premanufactured buildings, weird little microcars, and sewing machines.
Krupp and Thyssen are still around, building elevators among other things. I chuckle every time I ride in one.

Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, Audi the list goes on.
Reminds me of some environmentalist from Canmore named Pissoir. Never could post his name on another forum.

The program used by this forum edits certain words to keep us all from cussing our heads off. Yamash!ta's name includes a common bit of vulgar slang for fecal matter.
I'm surprised some among us haven't already piped off about it being "cancel culture censorship of our God-given right to free expression, further evidence of the Globalist agenda, and proof that the slimy tentacles of George Soros and his ilk are extending into even these sacred halls of debate and discussion..."
Anyway, pictures: Steyr built this homely but functional Type 1500 Kommandeurwagen. All credit to original owners of the pics.
Top-down fun in exotic vacation destinations!

So you've decided to invade the vast expanses of Russia. But for four months of every year, the roads convert themselves to sticky jello and nothing can move. What can you do?
Well, the good folks at Steyr have a slow, loud solution for you - the Raupenschlepper Ost, or RSO, had a top speed approaching 17 kph, but it could not be stopped. That's it in the back:
"Chev? Ford? Dodge? That's adorable...
When it absolutely, positively, has to get there next month...
Here's one at Miltracks 2019: [youtube]yvyMrbCON3U[/youtube]
I believe our own XRCD011 has seen one of these live in person and has testified to the fact they are louder than just about everything else. But what if you want it louder? Steyr has a solution:
The "7,5 cm Pak 40/4 auf Gepanzerter Selbstfahrlafette RSO" (catchy, no?) was not a huge success.

The moment of death of Private 331 Infantry Regiment, 83rd Infantry Division of the US Army (331th infantry regiment, 83rd ID) Jack Rose (1922-1945). Jack Rose was killed by a German sniper in the Belgian village of Bihain, near Ottré, while he was crossing a intersection. The photo captures the moment when Rose, already hit in the head by sniper fire, falls to the ground.

Geez, with that RSO you could really fool an enemy that a brigade of tanks just moved into position if you fired them up at night.
Handmade 30mm Cannon. They are being produced in workshops over there.
