Subdeacon Joe Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 This photo is often mislabeled as "Australian Tank." In reality it is demonstrating the defensive "Possum Maneuver" used when Armor is about to be caught in the open. It only appears harmless. Do not give in to the temptation to scratch its belly.

I've got lunatics laughing at me from the woods. My original plan has been scuppered now that the jeeps haven't arrived. My communications are completely broken down. Do you really believe any of that can be helped by a cup of tea? Corporal Hancock: Couldn't hurt, sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Self-Propelled Howitzer My favorite part in A Bridge too far was when the German soldier approaches the bridge with a white flag to "discuss terms of surrender". He's told off by a rather cheeky fellow that they, the British cannot accept their surrender as they already have too many German prisoners.
