Imagine a Russia Soldier today looking up out of his foxhole and seeing a Panzer with an iron cross coming at him, if they have any sense of history it has to be pretty crazy to comprehend and to see this panzer really near places like Kursk and Stalingrad, does seem like history repeating itself.

Don’t believe the Iron Cross was on any WW2 German vehicles.
The Balkenkreuze or bar cross, in various types are what you would see on Wehrmacht machines.
The Iron Cross was more dominate on German machines(Like the Red Baron’s triplane) in the WW1

Well it might have been scary especially a Tiger

But the russkie had numerical armor and manpower superiority and better gas mileage and resupply
