Any idea why those two tanks in the back are facing their main gun to the back?

I guess it is a standard formation for columns to prevent ambushing in the rear.

The tank gun barrel holders are on the backs of the tanks. They're prolly in a secure area, and I'm guessing those holders are to keep the gun stable while they're not in combat

Hitler's personal aircraft D-2600 in flight over southern Germany, circa 1934
At the suggestion of his personal pilot Hans Baur, Adolf Hitler specified a modified and unarmed prototype Condor, the Fw 200 V3, as his personal transport, as a replacement for his Junkers Ju 52. Originally configured as a 26-passenger Lufthansa transport (Works No. 3099), it was reconfigured as a plush two-cabin airliner. Hitler's seat in the cabin was equipped with a wooden table, seat-back armour plating, and an automatic parachute with downward throws. According to Baur, it was never armed. In line with Hitler's aircraft preferences, it carried the markings "D-2600" and named "Immelmann III" in honor of World War I flying ace Max Immelmann. As the war progressed it changed designation to "WL+2600" and finally "26+00;" it was destroyed at Berlin Tempelhof Airport in an Allied bombing raid on 18 July 1944.

The canine pictured here, along with BT-10 armored car chums - is Djulbars, a famous Soviet war dog, credited with the discovery of some 7,500 mines in the course of a distinguished WW2 career that also involved a number of other creditable acts. German Shepherd he was; perhaps a minor accent on the "German" bit. Djulbars survived the war although, when it came to the Moscow victory parade, he was suffering from war wounds that prevented him from "marching" at the head of the contingent of war dogs. Such was his fame, Stalin ordered that an officer carry him in the parade, cradled in one of the Leader's greatcoats. He never received the Dicken Medal - but Stalin did award him the Soviet Medal for Military Merit, making him the only Soviet dog, at any rate, to be awarded a full military decoration for his service in WW2.
