Re: German nicknames

'furniture van' = Moebelwagen - that was the widespread nickname for the Flakpanzer IV because thats what it looked like with its high all-round skirts- maybe also a less-common name for the Tiger I, never heard of it though.

Re: German nicknames

Hello all

The Sherman nickname "Ronson" came from the British. Ronson being a form of burner or cooking device.
