SHAEF's Latest Weapon (1 Viewer)

[Currahee Chris]

Stealing a page from Mr. Simon's wonderous Bored Fallschirmjager's thread; I offer this:

After the succesful allied drop, the German High Command prepared for the much anticpated counterattack shortly after DDay. Reports from the front indicated that large, silver tripod weapons were being deployed by the Allies to devastating effect. Before each attack, these weapons of war would let loose a war cry EXTERMINATE THE NAZIS!!

 

[Currahee Chris]

Prior to the counterattack, several of the Wehrmacht took a moment to enjoy a drink of "Wasser". The older troops regaled the younger Hitler Jugend with tales from the Eastern Front. The perimeter was secure and the jagdpanter was just finishing up minor repairs.

 

[Currahee Chris]

The Commanders sent forth a patrol to recon the area and to adjust coordinates for the Panthers and the beast of the East- The KING TIGER!! Slowly the armored car rolled through the hedgerow.

 

[Currahee Chris]

After the recce left, the commanders discussed potential avenues to advance. Some confusion was seen on the face of these grizzled veterans.

Hey Chris,
Nice collection and photos. Looking forward to you posting the rest of them.
Cheers

Then, from around the bend of the formidable bocage, the iron tripod advanced!! Bristling with advanced weaponry like toilet plungers and plasma pulse ion magma lasers, this metal mayhem flipped the recce car with a vortex suction from one of it's toilet plunger arms. Confusion spread as the Germans prepared to defend their positions. The monster rolled forward screaming "EXTERMINATE THE NAZIS!!

Where young men stood enjoying a leaisurly drink of french water, they were suddenly hurled and destroyed as the beast made its rounds.

 

[Currahee Chris]

Frantically, the crew of the KING TIGER tried to traverse its main gun and line up a point blank shot to the monstrosity. But their efforts were in vain...........

It's mighty magma laser flung the roof off of the jagdpanther and death and carnage were everywhere. The machine turned it's attention to the command section.

 

[Currahee Chris]

The men were disordered and began to retreat.....

 

[Currahee Chris]

They didn't stand a chance. A panther hidden in the chapel fired point blank at the destroyer. It's 88 shells, cause of panic and adversity for so many, merely bounced off the machine. It turned towards the panther.....

mercifully, it was over in seconds

 

[Currahee Chris]

The path of destruction was cut far and wide. It was over in 30 seconds.

 

[Currahee Chris]

Word spread rapidly to Berlin. Hitler and his high command could not hope to compete with this terror from beyond. He sent FM Rommel to speak with General Eisenhower and to sue for peace.

Peace appeared to be within sight. But a wandering bohemian with think curly hair stepped forth from a blue police call box and warned those there:

"BEWARE THE MENACE OF THE DALEKS!!"

But that my friends, is a tale for another day!!

Outstanding! Brilliant and accurate naration depicting the events of late 44 / early 45 and great pics to accompany them.

Just a point on historical accuracy. The Tripod shown is quite clearly the Mk3A2, depicted by the characteristic black on grey scheme. This particular model of Tripod retained the toilet plunger from earlier models, but was upgunned to the Forced Injection BFG 9000 magma laser, after early war accounts of technical problems with the plasma pulse ion magma lasers on the Mk3A1 models.

Chris looking forward to the Cybermen vs Roman Galley chronicles, appearing at a forum near you from February 16th.....

Ha!!! True story- my next door neighbor is a pharmacist!!

Oz- that was a great vid link- Bean always seems funnier when he does his own stuff- those movies he had were ok.

Mike and Simon- The 3 stooges may make an appearance- though it may be the little rascals- never give ideas to a man who has too much time on his hands.........

Love that you even included the nomenclature (Simon)- I was watching my "Genesis of the Daleks" VHS tape and they are, in fact, initially called the Mk3 Travel Machines!! My wife got me this figure several years back for Christmas. Seems as if that poor King Tiger keeps resurfacing- first it is squashing German paras then getting blasted by Daleks!!

 

[OzDigger]

Hi Chris, I think the Bean sketch was off one of his Christmas specials, there was also one of him with his head stuck up a giant oven ready turkey - funny stuff - or is that stuffing

I can recommend the DVD version of Genesis of the Daleks, it is a two disc set with heaps of extras plus the usual commentary.

Chris

Definitely a two thumbs up dramedy. Do you know the Mr. Bean Christmas episode where he visits Harrod's Dept. Store in London and wages a battle in the miniature Nativity scene with tanks, helicopters and Godzilla like monsters? He even has an airlift rescue of the infant. I'm sure Simon knows this one
Thanks for your entertaining mixing of sci-fi and war films.
