Ok so far!
We got two Panthers (ABWorsham and Poloplayer15) alongside with a Tiger I Late (AeV) version and a Jagdpanther (wittmann) for now, against a 400 T-34 horde (not 40.000, let’s keep it a BIT realistic) and one JS II Tank (yavid) wich will coming our way in waves.
Rasputitsa is the choice of Herrn KaLeun ,but yavid’s Tank is a June 1944 modell so we will fight either near Minsk or a little later like in Rumania,Sevastopol is another choice as well as Königsberg Eastprussia, not much of a Rasputitsa anymore, lol (let us know witch Bolshevic Tank modell you choose Herr KaLeun, 8-) ).
CWO Marc take a side and a Tank modell, don’t be the writer, be the Tank rider and whoever wants to join us here!
Take your time German Gunners, every shot must be a Hit. (we don’t have that much ammo anymore)
Crush those Barbarians, Let us teach them how to swim in the Volga!
Our superior ta KS and sights will crush the waves of bolsheviks. I’ll just sit and wait. My Mg42s will bur red hot and the wall of corpses will shield my Panther from your precious T34. Meanwhile, my brothers in arms will be picking off your pathetic tanks at will. And your Is-2 will burn after our tiger takes a cracked at it
I am all for a Konigsberg battle. Heersgruppe Nord and German  Prussia cannot be left to the ungodly and unwashed Ivan.
We will hold them off until our glorious Kriegsmarine can evacuate every true German. None shall be violated while I command my Jagdpanzer!
And Marc choose a side!
If it’s gonna be Königsberg, then our Motto should be:
**KÖNIGSBERG WIR HALTEN!
WE WILL HOLD KÖNIGSBERG!**
@wittmann:
And Marc choose a side!
I already did so back on the first page of this thread. I’m on the Western Front sitting beside my Pershing tank, doing some WWII-style multi-tasking: listening on the radio to the play-by-play description of the titanic struggle on the Eastern Front between the Commies – uh, sorry, I mean our gallant Soviet allies – and the Nah-zees, reading Bill Mauldin’s latest cartoon, drinking coffee and whistling “Mademoiselle from Armentières” to myself.
:-D :-D bahahaha :-D :-D, I love it!
Marc: listen to the radio all you like. You will never find a bridge across the Rhine….or maybe you will.
War will be won or lost in the East though.
I have it on good authority that what you say about the importance Eastern Front is correct. Last night after chow, the boys in our company got shown a US Army information film and it quoted General MacArthur as saying “the scale and grandeur of the Russian effort mark it as the greatest military achivement in history.”
Now, I’ll return to the crossword puzzle I’m doing in my copy of Stars and Stripes. Let’s see…“town on west bank of Rhine, seven letters”…R-E-M-
(WHOOSH! BLAM!)
Whoa! Was that an '88? Hey, did any of you guys know those Panthers could shoot so darn far?
I do notice no one said sherman

Excellent! They were talking of Moscow and the Volga, and now we have already crossed their own borders. This must be part of the grand strategy of Generalfeldmarschall Von Manstein, which was recently summarized on the cover of a magazine published by our capitalist American allies:
“Retreat may be subtle, but victory lies in the other direction”
@wittmann:

We’ll be glad to be of assistance in the evacuation of the German population from the area. We’ll provide compelling incentives wherever necessary. After everybody has left, we’ll add the area to the Soviet Union. Let’s see…. it’s about time for comrade Kalinin to have a town named after him. Oh, wait, he already has two?
Anyway, we’ll blow up that castle, which is a symbol of bourgeois oppression of the workers and peasants. And build a magnificent Soviet palace on top of it which we’ll never finish because nobody really needs it.
To bad you forgot your winter clothes.
Hey did you guys see the stand up Eddie Izzard? His an English comedian that does a part of his show on the WW2 makes alot of fun of hitler. if not check it out
I spoke of a coworker of my father back during the war that had two Sherman tanks shot out from underneath him.
His name Ray Webb, during the Bulge, encounter a Tiger and lost his tank. His second tank was lost to an antitank gun ambush.
He spoke of the Tiger tank, saying he was scared of encounter.
wow thats rough. Glad to hear he survived the encounter but man, talk about bad luck. getting two tanks shot out
Count me in with my Sturmtiger! That will help destroying any positions like our own Seelow Heights. I’m sure our accompanying infantry (all in half tracks) will like me in urban warfare. An associate of mine has chosen a Tiger 2. So much power and strength! We can hardly lose with king.
As for the original question, I would choose a German tank that was sent to Norway after the invasion, and stayed there for the whole war. I would destroy it to make it look like the resistance destroyed it, and then I would hide and make a new life in the US or UK.
