Hitler Was Inside Me As Child

[Canadamus Prime]

Do you get the feeling that Hitler was compensating for something?

Patronage of the arts. No matter how bad the artwork, if you buy it you might just stop someone becoming a genocidal dictator, a lawyer or some other sort of undesirable outcome.

Yeah, these things mostly didn't happen. Thing is, in reality, they used up a lot of resources, and moving them around was a huge issue... also, with being so darn heavy, most of these monstrosities (Russians were also big into building giant thingies that went boom) tended to bury themselves, kill people that tried to operate them or just be very, very impractical. It's really not just about 'getting stuck', but being so heavy that anything beneath them squirms away, turns to mush or gets well crushed.

Here, have some more:

Russian Lebedenko / "Tsar" tank, ~1917, 12m high and really, really big wheels

Oh, and that "Schwerer Gustav" - the second one was called "Dora", get this:

"The monster was so huge it took a team of 2,500 "volunteers" to lay track for it, and the train carrying and supporting it was 25 cars long, about a mile. "

Reminds me of when I drew Grand Theft Auto Vice City in first or second grade.. Showed the person shooting cops behind cars, while another car was on fire, dead officer on the ground, and a plane was about to crash.. Showed it to my teacher, got full marks. F yeah.

The title of this thread indicated something entirely different from what the content actually is.

I'm sort of both disappointed and relieved at the same time.

I was intensely trying to formulate what I could possibly find in this thread as it loaded.

I came up with "Guy believes the ghost of Hitler was sealed inside him at birth, tries to convince the escapists"

Reading the header made me think of much naughtier things than it rightfully should.

I blame you, The Internet, for spoiling my innocence.

The response to any such weapon would be "Airstrike." Air to surface missiles do unfortunate things to their targets.

Didn't everyone do that when they were young?
Well, bar the people playing with barbies and pretending to be cooking at poor-quality plastic representations of stoves (or one of those old products that 'baked' products with a lightbulb, or something, can't reember the name). I digress though.
I wasn't actually going to post this, but the captcha pretty much made me.
I liked using squared paper to design spaceships that were all straight/diagonal lines.
I did this in my religious education classes and still passed with a B, after doing the wrong question too.

Captcha was: stay safe.

Ze Germans had that gun-on-a-train thing. Dunno what's it called.
Anyway, I used to draw battles as a kid. I remember conjuring up a roll of paper and draw a 2 meter long, well battle really. With shed loads of tanks, planes, dismembered soldiers and an A-bomb.

it was called big bertha. used in WW1 actually to shell paris. there was a warhammer 40k campaign where the last battle featured da krater maker, an ork version.
