"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

If it is Soviet.
He's a sneaky man you know...
Reminiscent of those Spanish AAC's on Chevy bodies (as well as more 'obvious' BA's).

You all remind me of the Dire Straits song: "You're so far away from me!"

Been distracted by a surprising group of Irish Ford vehicles with that 'BA' shape, we could do an 'ersatz Russki armoured car thread'.

However, I reckon that one's a Swedish Landsverk 181.?
1933 design based on MB chassis and also used by the Dutch & the Danes.
