#1: Okay, what is this, or what is it supposed to be? Author: Neil_Baumgardner, Location: Arlington, VAPosted: Tue Jul 11, 2006 12:35 am ---- Found this while looking through the old "Tanks for the Memories" geocaching site.
"Description reads Found this armored vehicle in Marxzell (Black Forest, Baden-Wuerttemberg / Southern Germany)."
I have to assume this is some sort of mock-up right?

As for the circled object, that looks like a portable GPS receiver. How come if the GPS was a war winner for Gulf War II (90-91), why didn't it have any appreciable effect in WWII?
