Just a few scans from the Tigerfibel.
Just thought it was kinda funny. Makes me think these magazines were ment for more than just pure maintenance advice.

Well, it certainly did its job. I'd read it carefully if I knew german better.

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Good Stuff here

PzJg. Abt. 653 was renown for the oddities it utilized and/or slapped together. In this picture we have at only SdKfz 181 PzKpfW VI (P) (one of the the original prototypes) to see action mounted on a railway platform, preceded by the one-of-a-kind hybrid Panther that blended the Panther Ausf. D hull of a spare Bergepanther with a Panther IV turret.

The turret was bolted down and could therefore no longer operate as a turret. Both beasts served as command vehicles.

Japanese aerial photo of the initial attack on Prince of Wales (top) and Repulse. A short, thick plume of black smoke can be seen emanating from Repulse, which has just been hit by a bomb and surrounded by at least six near misses. Prince of Wales can be seen to be manoeuvring. The white smoke is from the funnels as the ships attempt to increase speed.

In 1937, the Osaka Mainichi Shimbun and its sister newspaper the Tokyo Nichi Nichi Shimbun covered a contest between two Japanese officers, Toshiaki Mukai (向井敏明?) and Tsuyoshi Noda (野田毅?), in which the two men were described as vying with one another to be the first to kill 100 people with a sword .
