The Nashorn and Elephant were a couple of other TD's,but suffered from no anti grunt defense,and the Russki's were the worlds best at,shall we say ganging.THe Ferdinand..Elephant was the larger of the two,and the Nashorn was much more maneuverable.If you think about it the Russians used a guy with a bottle of gas and a wick about as well to kill tanks,TD's etc.Maybe we should have one of those LOL!It's been said many times,and I'll say it again,Hitler should have left the Russians alone!He got a bad read off the Russo-Finnish war,and thought they would be a walk over.They may have eventually locked horns anyway,and the result probably would have been the same,but it would have taken a lot longer,and the casualties would have been much higher.The Germans were the best defensive fighters the world has ever seen!Would the Germans defeated the Brits if they left the Russki's alone?That channel must have seemed like it was 500 miles across.Talk about a moat!
