But would I be a good Messiah with my low self-esteem? If I don't believe in myself would that be blasphemy? - Bloodhound Gang; Hell Yeah

Applejack unearths a large prehistoric metal machine, unlike she's ever seen, the long protruding snout and dense body definitely intimadating. She doesn't know what this thing is, except for the word writen across the side. Churchill.

Huh, ponies discovering an old bit of Terran flotsam. This could be interesting.

Could use some polish, but I like the idea!

Was written at like, 3:30 in the morning, so I'll definitely be polishing it

Admittedly, I was hoping for an actual Panzer, but a Sherman works all the same.

I choose a Churchill because it was the tank most people would likely know, sorry

9676125
Churchill =/= Sherman.

9676145
You sure? Because the mini-description referred to it as a British Sherman.

This seems quite good, the ponies should have an interesting reaction to such a big war

9676159
Well, either way, it would have been easier for me to write the journal story in English than German or Russian

9676210
The Sherman shown there is the 75mm version, right?

9676390
Americans spoke English, but kudos for picking a little-known design.

9676487
Well, then who cares, it's a lesser known tank, that means... absolutely nothing...

9676504
Most writers go for the ones you see in the movies, like Shermans.

9676506
Yeah, see, I'm not like most writers... as I don't watch movies... I just chose the Churchill cause I thought it was more well known, and because I have a small model Churchill that I got from a family member...

9676515
Nice! I've got most of the British tank designs represented in 1:72 form, including a Valentine I scratchbuilt.

9676506
But atleast didn't write about a bob semple

9676521
Cool, I'm not the biggest collector of tanks, as I mostly collect old Diecast Cars, but the tank was a gift from my great grandfather, who was a huge tank memorbilia collector

9676530
Yeah. I know a guy who has a real Sherman.

9676538
It was a tank designed by New Zealand... long story short, it was an armored tractor... It was corrugated iron on a tractor hull

9676543
I think I've seen video of that.

Again, love the way you’re taking this! Glad to see you included postcards with the classic soldier captions. Too bad the crew didn’t see the end of the war

9676888
Maybe they did, we don't know their story yet

9676924
Fair, I’m just assuming at this point

Sweet, I can't wait to see what happens next, I would just LOVE to know how a WW2 Tank ended up in Equestria in the first place with one of it's crew's skeleton too.

So the most challenging part of this story so far is describing the interior of the Churchill, because it's very cramped for a human, but ponies are most likely smaller than us, so describing it through their eyes

*sees the title*

🎤Death in the shape of a Panzer Batallion!
Insect of terror, don't run, face your fate like a man!

🎤Panzers on Russian soil a thunder in the East!
One million men at war, the Soviet wrath unleashed!

Since most people would've called it a "cowboy hat", I like how you called AJ's hat by its proper designation (the"Stetson" hat). Very nice touch.

Huh, unless my memory has completely failed me, this is a somewhat different WW2. Interesting.

Why did you cancel this is a good story?

9681014
Poland would be scared if they saw Germanany singing about Russia

Just passing by to say, you’re doing a great job with this story, keep it up man!!! 👍👍👍

9681089
It doesn't look canceled to me...

9681746
Ooooohhhh… good, because I agree that it's a good story.

Huh, this is definitely turning into a mystery, the mind boggles at these twists in history.

It reminds me of Fatherland 1999 where Germany won but needed America to help fight the war in Russia which was still going. Although I wonder which german tank he has I would assume a Tiger or Tiger Royal but not enough detail to go on.

9683344
Never even heard of Fatherland 1994, but I might go watch it

9683355
Its a film about a german in an alternate timeline where noone knows of the Holocaust and they search for rumors of the jewish death camps after seeing a jew drowned in a river and the Gestapo is hot on their heels
