Knocked-out Panther tank disguised as an M10 Tank Destroyer part of Skorzeny's false flag effort - Operation Greif. Skorzeny had been tasked by Hitler to cause chaos in the rear areas of the Allies using troops disguised as Americans. The operation did cause some confusion, but the largest effect was to keep Eisenhower off the battlefield for several days. Ike finally revolted and said he had to get out and he didn't care if someone tried to kill him.

Skorzeny was the Proto-JasonBourne of his day. The man was absolutely fascinating. He was offing scientists in Egypt in his 50s, working for Mossad the whole time.

And Otto pulled out one of the most daring spec op missions ever by freeing Mussolini. Not that it mattered, but was an awesome operation.

You must have got a great deal on those range rounds, dum dum. I'll prolly pay 2.50/gallon and take off work a few days to go over there for that super cheap TX range ammo.
