Guess the motive
 

Time for some AA.com comeback, I say.

Some of you might remember it, some not. Most of you werent around when it took place. Therefore, I will explain the rules.

I will start it off by posting a picture. This particular picture is showing a person, but it could just aswell be showing a vehicle, a battle or even a country. After that, you will all guess what the picture is showing. The first correct guess gets to post a new picture. And so we proceed, untill we all drop dead. Remember, it should be something that has something to do with history, not goatse.

whats happening and where'd it happen?

That's a tough one...Something like that happened almost everyday in occupied Europe. Unless that's a famous picture I'm unfamiliar with.

Croatians? eek:

yea noone would get that one its just some random crazy nazi shit I saw.

but noone got the "whats happening" question oOo:

it happened in Kovno, Lithuania, I picked it cause i know someone from Lithuania, hes in my school.

yea, "photographed through the periscope of USS Trigger (SS-237) on war patrol, 24 May 1943." not really the last days of world war 2 but...post something.

[img]http://americanhistory.si.edu/subs/history/subsbeforenuc/ww2/images/quote.gif[/img] saw that thought it was cool. rolleyes:

Haha, this one is tough:

A powder charge for a cannon? oOo: Terrible picture by the way - hides the size of the thing. If no one guesses correctly in a few hours, change it to something else.

I know the major players in the Great Northern War ( which I recommend studying to anyone who hasn't )...but not what they look like.

I will just change it.

Hint: It's NOT German.

Meaning it was sold by Germany to Austria, Romania, Bulgaria, Finland, Hungary, Italy, Croatia or Slovakia? Or is it not of German design at all? Looks like a Tigerish Panzer IV variant.

Really have to know your tanks. biggrin:

Cromwell... or some other tank designed to look German for training?

[quote=Ferich]Cromwell... or some other tank designed to look German for training?[/quote:16aa2]

You got the idea, but it's not British or American.

T34? If not, I turn this one over to someone with a broader knowledge of russkie armor..................designed to look German.

its the spainsh tank

They turned a T34 into a german tank for Saving Private Ryan, didn't they?

I remember Innoxx was bitching about how blatant it was in IRC awhile ago. I couldn't really tell it was a different tank though. Pretty sure they used a T34.

No such place, unless its an Americanized name...(I am from LT, born and raised).

Kaunas?

There we go. Kaunas is where I was born...

What the feck is with the Americanized names, I saw on a google map that our capital "Vilnius" is "Vilna"....

I'll just give it to Ferich, even though its a T-44. =\

Should be easy.
