 Deutsche Soldaten is a stunning visual history of the German soldier and provides a unique reflection of how the men lived, ate, and washed themselves on the front, or behaved when at rest, what were their pastimes, ambitions, worries and how they spent their leave, through the collections of personal items and other artifacts they left behind. 

Lavishly illustrated with thousands of color photographs, this large format book is being jointly produced by Casemate and Andrea Press in Spain.

People on /k/ were taking different tanks and combining them in unique patterns. Here are some of them.

Note how it says- Birtish Tank.

Sherman tank manufacturing and training.

Can you hear it?

The sound of freedom?

A sleds, resembling aircraft fuel tanks cut in half, could shield a man from anti-personnel mines (excluding the bouncing ones). Course, if the tank drove into a mixed minefield of both AT and AI mines, this idea could prove less than desirable for the infantry.

The design, used in combat, ended up facing the difficulties described, as well as having infantry be introduced straight into what ever was ambushing the tank. 

Still, would be nice to put in ear plugs, and nap, waking up for lunch a 60 kilometers away.

This defacto makes the Sherman the best APC of the war. 

Its Armoured. 

And it Carry's Personnel.
