The photo itself is incredible

The subject matter not so, but damn beautiful sight and good composition. It almost looks like a ghibli still.

Obligatory fuck nazis.

Fuck nazis, but cruising around a squadron of Tiger tanks in a flower meadow must be a pretty majestic sight.

Ah, the classic nazi colours of bright orange helmets. Fucking Bob the Builder invasion if I ever saw one.

Of course you are not forbidden from abandoning the tank, but if you do so you will be immediately spotted and killed, so you must not abandon the tank

"Look Hans, I told you this will be a walk in the park. Feel the sun on your skin! Can you smell the flowers?
We'll be back home by Christmas, and definitely not starving and freezing to death in a rat-infested basement under a city named after our enemy!"
