Tank Riders

There have been many sets of World War II German infantry over the years, but this one is a little different as almost all the men are sitting down. The chance to ride a tank was always welcome if the alternative was a long march, and some marches such as those advancing into the Soviet Union seemed almost endless. Of course such figures can have other uses too such as sitting in trucks, so this is quite a versatile collection.
As with the other sets in this mini range from HaT most of the figures are ordinary infantry sitting. We have seven such figures, plus one man on one knee and an officer kneeling. The last two figures are of tank crewmen, and both are only part figures as they are intended to be emerging from some tank hatch. The poses are a really nice range of men relaxing in various ways, and we thought them all very natural. The man on one knee - possibly an NCO - has his submachine gun slung around his neck and is holding its ammunition clip to steady it. The officer, who is similarly armed, is doing what so many officers in this hobby do - holding a pair of binoculars. All the figures are very nicely posed.
The two tank crewmen wear standard uniform including the double-breasted jacket and the field cap, while the infantry are also in standard uniform. All wear the long boots that were more common earlier in the war, although they never disappeared completely. Most wear a helmet, but one has his field cap instead. The kit consists of the usual level of burden for men in action, and everything here is properly done. Weapons are mostly rifles but a machine gun of uncertain type is also being clutched.
As to how they look when in their natural environment - on a tank - well you can judge for yourself as we picture them on this Panzer IV. We think you will agree that they look pretty good, and make a very attractive scene, which as we have said could extend to other forms of vehicle, for example. Close up they do disappoint, but they are accurately done and make a nice addition to any column of troops advancing or retreating, and during the 1939-45 period German infantry did a lot of both!
Serial production began in 1940. It was the first mass-produced medium tank with anti-cannon armor, a powerful diesel engine and a long-barreled 76.2 mm cannon. Until the end of 1941, he was the best tank in the world.
The T-34 with the 76.2 mm F-34 cannon was the main Soviet medium tank until the end of 1944, when it was replaced by the T-34/85 with more powerful weapons. In total in 1940-1944. 35,467 T-34/76 tanks were produced at six factories.
What better way to ride into battle than on a tank? These also work great as diorama pieces, they don't need to be sat on a tank at all, they could be chilling anywhere!

Richard Freiherr von Rosen was a highly decorated Wehrmacht soldier and outstanding panzer commander. After serving as a gunlayer on a Pz.Mk.III during Barbarossa, he led a company of Tigers at Kursk. Later he led a company of King Tiger panzers at Normandy and in late 1944 commanded a battle group (12 King Tigers and a flak company) against the Russians in Hungary in the rank of junior, later senior lieutenant (from November 1944, his final rank). Only 489 of these King Tiger tanks were ever built.
Of the 30 million who fought in the eastern front of World War II, 8 million died, driven forward in suicidal charges, shattered by German shells and tanks. They were the men and women of the Red Army, a ragtag mass of soldiers who confronted Europe's most lethal fighting force and by 1945 had defeated it. Sixty years have passed since their epic triumph, but the heart and mind of Ivan - as the ordinary Russian soldier was called-remain a mystery. We know something about how the soldiers died, but nearly nothing about how they lived, how they saw the world, or why they fought.
The cataclysmic battle of Kursk in 1943 put an end to Hitler's hopes of victory on the Eastern Front, and it was Evgeni Bessonov's first battle. From then on the Germans were forced into a long, bitter retreat that ended in the ruins of Berlin in 1945. An officer in an elite guards unit of the Red Army, Bessonov rode tanks from Kursk, through a Western Russia and Poland devastated by the Germans, and right into the heart of Nazi Germany.
Objective: Pelvic injuries are a serious and commonly occurring injury to motorcycle riders involved in crashes, yet there has been limited research investigating the mechanisms involved in these injuries. This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms involved in pelvic injuries to crashed motorcyclists. Method: This study involved in-depth crash investigation and 2 convenience-based data sets were used. These data sets investigated motorcycle crashes in the Sydney, Newcastle, and Adelaide regions. Participants included motorcycle riders who had crashed either on a public road or private property within the study areas. The mechanism of injury and the type of injuries were investigated. Results: The most frequent cause of pelvic injuries in crashed motorcyclists was due to contact with the motorcycle fuel tank during the crash (85%). For riders who had come into contact with the fuel tank, the injury types were able to be grouped into 3 categories based on the complexity of the injury. The complexity of the injury appeared to increase with impact speed but this was a nonsignificant trend. The pelvic injuries that did not occur from contact with the fuel tank in this sample differed in asymmetry of loading and did not commonly involve injury to the bladder. They were commonly one-sided injuries but this differed based on the point of loading; however, a larger sample of these injuries needs to be investigated. Conclusion: Overall improvements in road safety have not been replicated in the amelioration of pelvic injuries in motorcyclists and improvements in the design of crashworthy motorcycle fuel tanks appear to be required.

One of the sticking points in each is the draft compensation the Lakers would have to send back: Two first-round picks in 2027 and 2029. The Jazz are riding high on their trade of Gobert, for which they netted five first-round picks, and view the deal as setting the market for draft compensation. With the Pacers, a person with knowledge of the negotiations told SCNG that the franchise has been reluctant to trade players that would bottom out the franchise into a full-blown tank without picks to help ease the blow. 2b1af7f3a8
