Driver's Ed -- Wehrmacht style

War is supposed to be a serious business, right? Not according to German WWII technical writers who turned the thick, boring tank manuals for "Tiger" & "Panther" tanks into a "Popular Science"/"Playboy"/comic book combination. These juicy manuals proved to be so popular, that they were even translated into Russian and read throughout the Soviet Army tank corps. I could not find the Russian "link-jacked" versions, but here are a couple of genuine Nazi tank manuals, with full versions readily available on the net.

Read the rest here; thanks to reader Glenn Bowen for the pointer.

ADDENDUM: At the same site, take a look at The Most Dangerous Roads in the World (which also includes some mountain footpath shots that will make you shudder just looking at them).
