Apparently it is OK to adopt the name and internet personae of members of the wehrmacht and to idolise members of the SS and their achievements, and everyone should politely sit back and not burst the bubble of ridiculous conceit or point out that *gasp shock* the German war effort which is so idolised was actually the product of an absolutely evil, murderous regime.

You tell them Nestor!

:rolleyes:

Anyone know if the free "Pukey" shirt dealio is still going on? It says until July 22 or supplies last; from what I can tell they are still in stock. I may not have been around for the IS-2 in joke but that doesn't stop me from wanting the shirt. :p

The fact is that IS-2 is an in-joke based around a post made by a guy called 7th Guards Div a very long time ago.

One of the most notable features of this post was the guy's almost total lack of self-awareness. The IS-2 then became a meme, to a great extent as a joke about this guy.

Thanks for the clarification. I looked up the thread and it is gold :D. I'm so excited to be in on the joke . . . now I gotta buy an extra shirt, damn it!

"Not for tractor lovers" is a great tagline. I actually read it before I got a good look at the shirt on the store page, and it made me laugh so hard I wanted to buy it just for that. Better get to work on an SU-76 shirt TW!

If you're too tight to buy the shirt, just say so, don't cut and paste nazipedia at me :p

Wow that was unfit... Otto Carius is one of the highest ranking tank officer of WW2, with a score of more than 150 destroyed tanks, and he still lives today and works in a Pharmacy. No need to accuse the guy of being a nazi just because you seem it unfit - he has his own opinion of what the best tank was...
