This thing was crazy. The story I got on it was that it was a WW2 "tank decoy," which was mean to draw enemy attention away from the real panzers! Sounds like a suicide mission to me, I can't imagine soldiers were exactly waiting in line to drive it! :lol:



I have read alot about ww1 and ww2 I think it is pretty cool all the decoy tanks and gun areas they made. They even made tanks out of paper. here are a couple of pictures

this one is a blow up tank from ww2 i think

We even have modern day blowups that are cool here is a missile truck

and some inflatable F-16's

The other thing I learned was that Schwimwagens were 4 wheel drive, I guess never looked that close!
