Further perpetuating this myth, Trumpeter released a 1:35th scale model of the E-100 Ausf.B in 2008, calling it plainly "E-100". I would advise anyone who is offered the opportunity to work with Pasholok to think heavily about if they really wanted to work with such an unprofessional man who has on numerous occasions displayed anti-Polish sentiment.

WarGaming's idea that the vehicle was over 100 tons comes from just a bit earlier in that same sentence, "[Krupp] received instructions that a 100-ton test vehicle, instead of the 72-ton VK72.01(K)... [was to be built]". Double agents delivered false information to reinforce this deceit both before and after the Normandy landings. I got curious after hearing that the e50m was a fake. Life is often stranger than fiction as filmmaker Rick Beyer found out when he learned that an American Ghost Army helped defeat the Germans during World War II. Now I am not saying this here because I have hurt feelings, I have been called much worse and frankly don't care what people call me; I am including this here so people may know that this is how WarGaming employees and Yuri Pasholok himself operate. Legal Statement. "The deception operation had been developed over a period of time, and it was a major undertaking," Dr. Gerhard L.

In their game the vehicle weighs 120 tons and has 240mm thick frontal armor. "Deception was a contributing factor, but it wasn't the only factor," added Barbier. File photo of British dummy tank. While writing Der Panzerkampfwagen Panther und Seine Abarten, Walter Spielberger encountered a report dated from February 10th, 1943, stating that experience on the Eastern Front had shown that the Panther did not have sufficiently thick side armor. He misled the Germans about the time and location of the invasion and helped convince his German handlers that Pas de Calais was the target of the main attack. Unfortunately, WarGaming's representation of the tank is where it all falls apart. Why then, would a leopard with its hull lengthened to the size of a Panther, even be considered? This tank would be identical to the Aufklärungspanzer V Panther, except that it wouldn't be based on an existing chassis, therefore it would need a separate production line, and a separate supply line to maintain. Life is often stranger than fiction as filmmaker Rick Beyer found out when he learned that an American Ghost Army helped defeat the Germans during World War II. However, the key objective of Operation Bodyguard was to convince the Germans that the invasion of northwest Europe would come later than planned but also convince the German high command to expect attacks in Norway, the Balkans, the Mediterranean coast off France or, most notably, the Pas de Calais region.

Since Spielberger had assumed this document came from 1944, not 1943, this led him to believe that the Panther II project was still going in 1944, even though it had thought to have been cancelled.

"The people who came out of this unit is, in itself, a fascinating story," said Beyer. Legal Statement. They intercepted Allied radio transmissions which appeared to confirm that two American divisions were on the ground. Given that the Allies had a good deal of trouble on June 6 it is likely they would have been thrown back into the sea if the Germans had been able to concentrate their main forces at Normandy.". Also in the same issue, John E. Stauffer of San Diego wrote in to again dispute the idea of a StuG III L/33.
