I did a google search for Rumanian (sic) Tank Driver's Badge and came up with this.

Cos Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Well I see the SS had something besides Hampstertruppen. Wonder if the Cat SS officers there would eat the Hampstertruppen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Hey, those are CMBB screenshots! The kitty faces were supposed to be a surprise. Those drawings give you an idea what the classic comic "Maus" would,ve looked like if the artist were a complete and utter dweeb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some nice colour pics etc. A note: the official war emblem we used was the Finnish flag with three points and the coat of arms in the middle, NOT the swastika as you aspire in your site. We were NOT a Nazi satellite, damn it ! The swastik was only used by the the airforce and the armour. http://www.tpk.fi/eng/institution/ensign.html [ August 13, 2002, 03:28 PM: Message edited by: tero ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted August 13, 2002 Author Share Posted August 13, 2002 tero - haven't had a chance to check the sites yet, but I truly appreciate the info on the war symbol; I will rectify the swastika situation on my site tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamstersss Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 What shocks me isn't the Waffen-SS George Washington Brigade but rather the proclivity of Nazi cats to smoke. Haven't they seen any of those Phillip-Morris commercials with the ambiguous kids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tero Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Originally posted by Elijah Meeks: I'm sorry, I believe you're thinking of France. Finland never possessed the industrial might to be considered an überSatellite and only qualified as a berlinerSatellite (Yes, this was what JFK was referring to in his famous doughnut speech). How can you even claim we were a satellite then if were could not reach the orbit ? And a berliner at that. A Danish we were not, a Berliner we did not wish to become, let us then be a Karjalanpiirakka. JFK may have been a doughnut but no Finn would have admitted to being such mush inside. This gave them bragging rights over the lesser satellite states but they still couldn't carry France's jock when it came to supporting the Reich war machine. Indeed. We had to replenish our stocks and get new gear from the Red Army. The German infantry gear was by and large not good enough for our purposes, only the quality the Red Army could provide was sufficient for our needs.

Their export policy was quite aggressive. And the end user clauses in the final contract pretty steep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
