Panzerjäger Ausf. E?!?

Vergeltungs-Esel?!?

All-Gelände-Panzerjagdkommando "E" z.b.V.?!?

A classic, and I still love it. It´s sick, I know, but funny at the same time.

Vergeltungs-Esel?!?

Well, actually a Vergeltungs-Esel Ausf. B. The "A" didn't have the external bracing, the "C" had Schurtzen, and the "D" was produced for a few weeks in May '45 with parts salvaged from Russian donkeys.

They've got an Osprey on it.

 :lol:

Sources has it that there was an super secret advanced prototyp König-Vergeltungs-Esel "Gretchen" running on synthezised carrots. It could with its rear mounted gas-propelled "booster" reach an amazing 15 mph and could kick a hole in 3mm corrugated sheet iron. Apparently it exploded when Göring tried to escape to Bolivia on it.

I wonder what it would have looked like had the war continued into '46.
