Punctuation point on the tragedy of war really. But non the less, heroic.

Neat reminder of a very peculiar tale--but can anyone identify the where/when of the completely unrelated photo that is on the top of that page? Austrian army just before the Anschluss? Rob

Yes, that photo annoyed me also … But like most journalists, anything with a track is a tank … and all AFVs are created equal, etc., etc. … Most civilains couldn't ID a tank from a John Deer farm tractor … So much for research …
