Achtung Tom! What old argument about the Hetzer are you referring to? Speaking of Hetzers, I just finished reading a great little book, Hetzer: Jagdpanzer 38(t) and G-13 by Horst Scheibert, Schiffer ('90). While only the usual Schiffer 48 pages, it has some excellent photos. It goes on to point out that the 'Hetzer' that is on display at the outdoor museum of the Kampftruppenschule 2 of the Bundeswehr in Munster is a fake! The sign at the front says it is an original Hetzer with original colours and markings, but it is actually a G-13 built in Pilsen!Tom Houlihan wrote:Troy, I feel your pain! How about the old argument about the Hetzer?
I'm shocked!Hell, conventional wisdom still dictates that anyone in a German uniform is a Nazi!

Yes and no crolick! The English knew full well before WWI that the Germans referred to their subs as U-boots, just as they knew about T-boots, Z-boots etc, so when they christened the U-boots Uboats, they were still remaining true (in an anglisized way) to the official German classification system. I just never understood why the English called S-boats, err, S-bootscrolick wrote:Hmm but why S-boats?! English coded MGB as E-boats and Subs as U-boats. But the correct version should be S-boots and U-boots [not boats!!]
