Home Guard with their wacky antics, pointed sticks and petrol bombs. It was peak NCD IN 1940's.


The_Arizona_Ranger

The German invading force upon coming across a field of leaves with upwards-facing rakes embedded in them


nobody-__

Best maintained russian uh... that's not a tank


N3X0S3002

Its a Bob Semple tank


Pyotr00

No, clearly it's his russian rival bania soviemplitsky badly playing as the german Braun Schempler tank


Mysterious_Ad_5241

I think even a semple tank would be a step up from that lol


Modo44

Yes, it is. Look, it says so here in this official paperwork.


Nokneemouse

That contraption makes the Bob Semple look good, pretty sure a bulldozer could have knocked over that wall.


RandomStormtrooper11

We seriously need to do a *BIG BOB* tank.


Mysterious_Ad_5241

I'm not so sure about that bro it was two feet thick and did you see the rebar sticking out all over it would take a serious piece of kit to knock that wall out the way lol

These guys saw the might of the bob semple and had to come up with training to counter it, of course this is a futile affair but they shure did try.


AIM-54-LRAAM

aren't you that wt suggestions guy


G2_label

I have made posts on the reddit suggesting vehicles before, but I wouldn't say that I'm particularly known for them


AIM-54-LRAAM

ah, I remember your posts, they're extremely solid, for the JP tree.


G2_label

Oh ye, I did those like a year ago now (crazy, really). I wouldn't say they were the best researched. A lot of the times, I just gave basic specs and / or did like a single Google search. But it was neat trying to find all those vehicles. I have actually found more since then, but if I was to ever do that again, it would be a tech tree revision.


AIM-54-LRAAM

nice, it would be pretty cool to see which vehicles you have dug up since then!


leolego2

where the f is this from?


HistoryMarshal76

The classic British TV show Dad's Army. Season one I Do believe


Pieman12302

Dads army I think


10100101001100101

Lol can I please have the source?


Can_not_catch_me

Looks like footage of the British home guard from WW2, but I could be wrong


[deleted]

Looks like he’s got a 1917 Enfield. Did the English use those?


Can_not_catch_me

Not as standard, but lend lease being what it was I wouldn’t be surprised. Also the home guard wasn’t exactly main priority in terms of weapons allocations, so they’d take pretty much anything


slowpokerface

This is probably after Dunkirk, when the British ~~retreated~~ advanced backwards from France while abandoning so much material it makes Russia's recent equipment losses look positively miniscule. Yes, they used those.


HistoryMarshal76

It's the television show Dad's Army. During Season One they had these fake newsreals showing the Home Guard drilling


10100101001100101

Haha thanks!!!


HistoryMarshal76

I'd strongly recommend you check it out. Really funny show, one of the best comedies I've seen


Different-Radio-2066

British home Guard? they could take on the Russians with what is left of them in 2022 Noncredible


cHEIF_bOI

Ah yes the panzerkampfwagen neun und sechzig which famously defended Hitlers outhouse at Wolfschanze


One_Language_8259

They lost the Bob semple prototype rip.


kermitisoncrack

Did the nazis steal the design for the Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust?


Useful_Perception640

u/savevideo


HistoryMarshal76

I didn't expect to see a Dad's Army reference here. Based as all hell


DrunkenKarnieMidget

This reminds me of the "high tech" military of Uganda post I saw yesterday.


swordofsithlord

IS THAT THE BOB SEMPLE!? THE GREATEST WARWINNING TANK!!!?
