The Barracks Off topic stuff. Rattle on about whatever you like here. Rants & raves, general strangeness & anything else you'd like to share. Pretty much a free for all. (Directly political threads do have a fair chance of being binned though).

The Future world of the Third Reich!

German poster from 1941:
Herr.Vorragend's slideshow on Flickr

Quote:
What new things will the technology of tomorrow bring?
Today still a venturous plan - tomorrow maybe reality

Technology and economy in the Greater German Reich have gone into an unexpected upswing. The largest network of Autobahn highways has been constructed in just a few years, whole new industries were created and great architectural and urbanistic tasks are about to be realised. Although the war, that was forced upon us, makes it necessary to concentrate our economy on the war efforts, the great plans for the buildup are drawn with the certitude of our victory in mind. Many keen inventions and many thoughts that still seem fantastic today will then be realised. The pictures in this poster show on which branches the engineers are working today and what the technology of tomorrow will bring.

Cheers,
Adam

Luxury Humvee From Russia | RussianFun.net

While this might look like your average military truck but in reality it was heavily modified to make it more luxurious and comfortable for everyday use. Here is what they did to it:

1. Made changes to gearbox making it switch gears via joystick.
2. Changed the interior and installed soundproofing.
3. Installed new windows & mirrors as well as new seats from Chrysler.
4. Installed a rear view camera, and a heater
5. And of course installed new music, & DVD player with screens for passengers.

I would like to place an order for the last 3 vehicles pictured please.
(Excluding the Humvee, I have no wish to be associated with organised crime...)
Though I want the white truck body on the 6 wheelers chassis.
