#2 Now remember that this the Pravda, you know, that newspaper whose name means Truth. And while we are at it, Islam means peace.

#3 I think I saw a recent discussion of a WW2 tank regiment that was paralyzed by mice eating through the wires, but I forget whose tanks these were.

(The post was titled "The Mouse that Roared..." I'll have to see if I can dig it up.

#4 That was a German unit on the Russian front that had all the wiring eaten by mice. Could this be called Weapons of Mouse Destruction?

#5 We all remember Pravda from the Cold War era. But now, maybe they aren't as bad? I'd certainly give them a chance versus someone like, oh, CBS.

I believe the USSR also had a Dog Mine. They would feed dogs under tanks, so they associated tank = food. They would then put strap-on explosives (like a splodeydope) and send them into the front lines. The problem was that the dogs associated food with Russian tanks...

#6 The mouse-eating-wire event took place November 1942 during the battle of Stalingrad in the German 57th Panzer Corps, which was by that time little more than a battalion.
