Favourite German Tank?

There's that Pah again. So I will say Pah to you, he who looks like my German cousins and Gimme Kurt Meyer and Joachim Peiper with a little Hans Von Luck for good measure.

[Victorvonvalentine]

Yup... With you on the Von Luck!

And Peiper and Meyer too!

What about a touch of Barkmann? :-)

[Gotthard Heinrici]

I went with the Workhorse of the Panzerwaffe, the Mark IV. Great Tank and very versatile too. In many occasions it managed to punch above its weight. Definitely Barkmann, Victor!!!

Von lucks book weas decried for its factual inaccuracies!

No memoir can be trusted, regardless of claims otherwise. They can be used as information on everyday life as a soldier, but not as a source for historical events.

If it was written by the bloke himself how could it be inaccurate. He had no axe to grind. In fact he comes across as a decent bloke. That's not to say because of that it couldn't be inaccurate. But what purpose would it have served, unless the time he spent in a Russian gulag/pow camp could be reasoned to as the root of said inaccuracies ie the treatment in the camp(s) affected his recollection.
