guys what if the german tanks were actually the good guys
The more I think about it, the more I realize they must've been sabotaging their fascist masters on purpose so the Soviet Union could win.
Fun fact, field mice are celebrated as the “smallest heroes of the Soviet Union”, as during the Stalingrad campaign, German forces were utterly unable to respond to the Soviet pincer as the 22nd panzer division, and Romanian 2nd armoured division that were deployed to secure the rear and flanks of Army Group South had all the electrical wiring, insulation, and leather ammunition belts in all of the tanks eaten through as they stood in reserve. Rendering the entire panzer division useless and ultimately destroyed as the tanks had to be abandoned.
It didn't had this much of an impact because this was not a panzer army, but division with around 100 tanks of which 70 was disabled, and those tanks were mostly obsolete Pz38(t) which at the point of war did not had much chance against Soviet tanks. Also, against it was the Soviet 1st Tank Corps which had few hudred tanks with many T-34's. Finally, mice also apparently eaten the german command brains since the tanks recieved contradictory orders. As result 22nd panzer division was completely routed in just 3 days and never recovered, it was finally disbanded in 1943.
But still tank is a tank and it did saved soviet lives.
