So we are told that a Russian soldier says that the tank driver filled him in on all that just before he died?

He is going to be the best treated POW in the world as Russia makes sure he gets top medical care and fully recovers.

Germany is now at war with Russia!

And that is exactly what you must believe, be cause it was printed for your consumption.

Of course, the reader must be stupid and gullible, but we’re not going to make any specific judgement calls on that one.

“””He is going to be the best treated POW in the world as Russia makes sure he gets top medical care and fully recovers”””

He died on the spot after spilling his top-secret operational guts to the men who killed him and were cradling his dying body.

...hoping to seize the 'tongue.'

For the armor ignorant; what part/component is the 'tongue' of a Leopard tank?

Fortunately, there were no language problems between the dying German and the Russian soldier.

Reasonable, for sanity purposes, when dealing with Russian agitprop.

What kind of idiot would believe this? It’s Sputnik, the propaganda outlet of the Russian (and formerly Soviet) government.

By all means, paste stories that support your views, but please leave this garbage off of FR.
