My username reflects Me being a die-hard WW2 enthusiast.

I am a WW2 enthusiast since I was 4 years old.

Panzerknacker means "Armour Breaker" in German. It is name of a German WW2 military manual about anti-tank warfare published in 1944 and several German WW2 soldiers earned the nickname "Panzerknacker" for their actions.

It is just my passion for Military, especially during WW2. Non-political.

Welcome to the forum Panzerknacker. Maybe we have a lot to talk about. I spent 3 years in the army, 2 of which were with the 2nd armored division stationed at Ft Hood Texas where I was a gunner on an M60A1 tank.

We had TDY for about a month in Germany where we ran field exercises.

I too am a big WW1 & 2 history buff. I'm retired now but my job as an aircraft mechanic has allowed me to travel all over Europe. I've visited some of the great armor museums in Bovington, Saumur and Munster.

I would think maybe you're a gamer. BF2?

Thank you!

Interesting and good to hear. I am really glad when I meet army veterans and listen to their experience. My family has some rich military history too.

I have been to the Panzer museum in Munster too, two times.

Yes, I am a gamer. Some of my favourite games include Hearts of Iron IV, Darkest Hour 44-45, Men of War AS2 and of course yes, you guessed it right the first two Battlefields, especially the 1942 along with its expansion packs which was my first game ever. I did play BF2 a lot too but unfortunately never tried the FH2 mod as I had some problems with the installation.
