Villers-Bretonneux, April 1918.

Trying not to use google.

Yup S2, Cambrai, it was won by the British and is still celebrated each year by the tank regiments, whereby the Officers and senior ranks wake up the troops, called gunfire, with a hot cup of tea laced with rum ,and then they serve the troops their main meal , its also a time for sports, off V troops etc etc all in fancy type dress if they wanted, and the night time festivities are rounded off with an all ranks ball, it / is/was, a day when the troops could get away with calling the officers by their Christian names, and the day in general was great fun, as i think mayhem was the order of the day, YOU WILL ENJOY YOURSELF SOLDIER, and remember the men who died so you can go and celebrate... pass the bottle opener... Rupert, sir.

Ironduke is correct, You get the ball!

This tank was the only operational German tank of WWI.

But they used also captured ones, actually they used more captured ones than own built A7Vs.

The Sturmpanzerwagen A7V

uh..I did not even realize that Irondukes post was the next question, I thought it was simply a comment to the previous post^^

btw: A7V stand for Allgemeines Kriegsdepartement 7 Abteilung Vekehrswesen, which means about as much as Genereal Waroffice 7: Traffic-section , which was the office responsible for creating it.

Sounds as mysterious as the "Tank" designation given to the MK V's .

I think you inadvertently answered the question Tarek so you get to stump us I think.

Sorry for "stealing" the question smilingassassin I did not do it on purpose *g*

uhm, which weapon was ironiclyone of the most effective counter-meassures used by the Germans during the early time on the eastern front against the T-34 and KV-tanks?

Soviet 76.2mm P. obr 36 anti-tank gun. Some where mounted to German chassis with carriage still attached to make the Marder.

Or the Luftwaffe field units Flak-15 88mm guns.
