When a mysterious and never to be explained portal plucks a German Tank crew and their ride out of the battle of the Kursk, they are thrust into the heart of Central Canterlot.
Alone, and not knowing what to think about these talking multicoloured horses with wings and horns they must make a choice.
Can they find happiness in this world that has never seen conventional war? Or will they most likely open up with their 80mm and teach these ponies that nopony messes with der Furher...
Research comprised of 1/3 a bottle of bad whisky and 5 minutes on the World of Tanks wiki.
Art by Anticular Pony and yeah it's not a Panzer but it's a tank right?
Chapters (1)
Amazing. More ww2 factions in Equestria, pls. I want to see Americans panic and use a Jackson to fuck up Canterlot. Or Russians have a panic attack and do whatever a Russian would do.
I looked at your other fic and I expected this to be quite bad, I was pleasantly surprised it's really good!
7157549 Drink copious amounts of Vodka and then charge into battle wearing nothing but the skin of their fallen comrades whilst screaming URRRRRRRAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
Actually that's my Saturday nights sorry...
7157668 Is it opposite day again?
8.8cm gun or 88mm gun, not 80mm.
7158190 The reason it's 80mm is because of a W I Z A R D
7158393 -_-
*turn to a random artillery officer*
"Ready the 100mm cannons! Use HE round."
...
"40 degree, 9 o'clock!"
...
"Fire!"
*BOOM*x12
7158473
*Deflects off armour*
*Rolls d20, critical hit.*
Mission Accomplished
7158503 You don't really deflect a HE rounds...but, meh.
7158507 W I Z A R D
7158393 Really?
7158737 WOw I didn't think Fimfic had so many HATERS!!!!!
7159010 Do what? I was just talking the 88mm that got wizarded to an 80mm.
7159030 ... You win this round ... But cutiemark my words that I will be following your every move... tracking your every progression and hacking you WoW account.
Y is it 80mm? I'M TRIGGERED!
And the cover art is of a Tiger, which is technically a Panzer.
7159133 You're a Panzer
7159207 You're a big horseapple!
7159240 I will eat your sanvich. Mark Mein Vords... ... ...
7159245 "Battlemage! Attack the WIZARD!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Good story I'm partial to the tiger II not much that could beat massive armor and a huge gun.

80mm is not a caliber the Germans used. And it's "Der Führer."
The picture's a Tiger. That's a Panzer. Also, Panzer means tank in German anyway.
Never heard of anyone using "Grand" to describe the Reich.
Actually, since we invented Nitrogen based explosive compounds, we haven't used gunpowder in a military sense.
Unsure about supply, but against the French, they were roughly equal in numbers.
German tanks all had five crew.
In English, it's the Africa Corps.
In German, it's the Afrika Korps.
Also, Afrika Korps personnel mostly surrendered to the allies when the campaign in North Africa failed. Even if they were transferred, they should never have been transferred to the under-manned newly formed, 25th Panzer Divison, they're veterans.
German tank designations worked like this. Panzerkampfwagen (Roman Numeral) Ausf (Letter). You're missing the letter after Ausf that tells of the model of tank, and IV is 4. Panzer IVs were not new tanks on the battlefield, since they were kinda used in the invasion of France.
If he was a young boy in the First World War, if I'm very lenient, he's at least 40-something. That should've had him retired, or at least as a higher ranking officer.
Even Göring wouldn't be able to eat snacks for 45 minutes while in intense combat.
You also need to put punctuation at the end of dialogue, too.
I'm not sure how the air battle is related to the ground battle.
The head of a concentration camp?
Not actually an expression. Also, Führer.
Food is not a good expression of surprise.
Most tanks didn't have steering wheels. Panzers didn't have any until Tigers.
Too many exclamation marks. One is good enough most of the time, the exceptions is interrobangs.
Amerrricaaa! To be serious though, don't use colour.
They used buttons.
Training dictated that no shells were to be inside the gun breech unless you were shooting something.
I don't think he would be saying 'Maschinenpistole 40'. At least, he wouldn't be saying the 40.
Not very epic, more like very dumb. And the poetry doesn't sound very epic. Linkin Park isn't very epic either.
I know this is a jokefic, but the more you knooow!
7161363 As I explained to everyone about the 80mm. A W I Z A R D did it. Also this is an alternate Universe fic and in this alternate Universe tanks have crews of fowr and the Africa Corp is spelt Afrika Corp in every language. Also food is a great way to express yourself in dialogue and Colour is the ONLY WAY TO GO!!!!!!! Cause W I Z A R D. Also in this Universe Linkin Park is amaze and you are a scholar at the University of Mean.
7159038 Cool! have a follow back!! Oh what is WoW?
7162662 werld af tank, a rip off game of Warthunder
7161363
except the Flat tank (i.e Flat L6/40 etc.)
I don't under stand this story one bit
No that is a Panzer, a panzer 6, heavy tank known as the tiger.
8065040
Fiat was Italian.
When you said that it's not a panzer for the cover art in the description, you were entirely wrong. The official title of the Tiger tank is the
Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger H1 Ausführung E
or
Panzer VI Tiger I Ausf E
Although, yes, there is a big difference between a Panzer IV and a Tiger I
