Apparently being a Festung commander in East Prussia was a high stress job....

My namesake has had too many close calls to survive this battle anyway. Though it would seem nice for the seemingly eternal duo, Hansen and Arajs, to make it through.

Perhaps it's a question of when and where. The Germans were formidable opponents in Sicily, the rest of the Italian campaign, Normandy to some extent, yet by '45, most units only exist on paper. Taken as a whole, the Red Army would probably seem the most formidable to the common landser, as the like...

After a LONG Feldgrau hiatus, I come back to see a new Forum Hero tale. Magnificent! I just hope the Rolling Stones don't sue for royalties in this one.

By the way, at least the movie Rambo II and III had the Soviets portrayed as the bad guys....Remember Colonel Zaysen in Rambo III (I am not sure his English sounded more with a German accent rather than a Russian accent coz the actor who portrayed this character was a Dutch I think) I don't quite u...

How many lives does this Hansen character have?

Great story Commisar! The setting is a bit more interesting than the previous ones(to say they were boring at all). I am still muddling along with my own, though the banning of two prominent figures will make the irony lost on some readers.

Amazing drawing! How long did it take you to make it?

Well, like CY, I'd be against anything that would form a clique. Also, one has a new appreciation for them one actually writing one, as having the discipline to stick to it and keep up the story takes more than expected.

Part 9 The Puma stopped in front of Feldwebel Paulus' trenches. Emil and Jan jumped off the rear deck and scurried into the waiting arms of their comrades. Kurt and MH had to jog their memories a little to remember the men who caused the joyous meeting. The impromptu reunion was interrupted as Paulu...

Dr. Muhammad from the Nation of Islam hardly seems like the most objective of sources for the problem.

Part 8 Moving a large body of men and equipment undetected was no mean feat. Unfortunately, in Major Mendeleev's case, he was no longer "undetected". A company of supporting infantry had run into a German position and had been driven off. There was no way to prevent this from happening aga...

Phylo, you cannot be fooled. Both the T34/85 and most models of U-boats ran on diesel engines. And diesel engines were originally designed to run on a variety of fuels, including vegetable oil.

Onto you.......

Er... perhaps this should be clarified.

Interesting story Kevin! Could you write them in the future outside of quotes, as they can be somewhat difficult to read in such small text.
