MILITARY RECORD
-------- Operation Vistula
 

 

Parachuted with his cozmpany behind enemy lines but instead found himself alone guarding the famous Pavel Bure Bridge. Private Canuck decided to find his way back to his company but too late! Approaching the bridge is a Tiger tank. Private Canuck picked up his At Rifle and while shaking in his boots he closed his eyes and fired! To his surprise he had immobilized the beast, knocking of a track. While trying to hide the smell from relieving himself in his pants gave him away to the Germans and was taken prisoner.

Private Canuck escaped from the Germans with the help of Partisans who bribed the German Guards with Vodka, song and dance.

Incursion at Kursk At Kursk Sargent Canuck (now promoted)

It was a nice sunny day, Sargent Canuck was sitting in his turret T34 and was scanning the horizon for potential targets. He had been scanning the same area for over an hour and a half and he was getting a stiff neck. He got up and shouted an order to one of the troop trucks to get up front and ask the unit commander to switch watch positions, he ducked down and got back into postion and then there were three explosions almost in unison, then another two, he started to swing the gun turret round when there was massive clang as a round hit the tank but didn’t blow, the turret stopped then he tried to move it again but the power had gone, he leapt up and got out of the tank, jumping down and got up ran about two metres before he was blown off his feet by the explosion. He looked up and saw the other three T34s burning and the three troop trucks on fire and completely wrecked he ran towards a tree then dogged to the left realising it would be an obvious target he got down and started to crawl through a field when the tree was hit by an explosion, he went to cover as a piece of wood smashed into his head.

He woke up on a hot and bumpy metal surface, he was bound and gagged on to the back of a tank, its engines pitch and roar was complety different to any he had heard, he studied the sound and started to look at what he could see of the tank he noticed it was completely different to any tank he had ever seen. After quite a while, he had no idea how long since he passed out a few times, the tank stopped and a few minutes later a SS officer got on top of the tank and introduced his self as Paul Von Noggin. He said he was now a prisoner of the German SS and was going to have a nice time in the work camps.

He was untied and taken off the tank and then tied to a tree facing one of the tanks, he studied the tanks beautiful shape and design. He was then fed and given some water. A while later there was a lot of singing and noise of drunk people, then there was a couple of thuds of some one trying to get out of a door and wasn't succeeding, then the SS officer who he had first me met came out and asked if he wanted anything, He replied "I would like to go to the toilet " the officer gave this a thought and said no, Rw said if he didn’t let me he would do it any way but he would do it on the back of the tank and the smell it would not be nice. The officer grudgingly agreed. He was taken to a latrine and rw just stood there and the officer asked why he was standing there, rw reply that he could not go to the toilet with out help if his hands and feet were tied up. The officer stood their thinking that he might be able to have some real fun with this captive in the latrine if he had to help him, but then he realised that homosexual activities had a death sentence and thought better of it, so rw was untied and he went into the latrine a few minutes later he came out to find the officer passed out drunk on the floor in front of the latrine, so he decided to make his escape.

A few days later while trying to find his GDs unit Canuck was soon spotted by the same tank and was again captured. To his surprise the tank crew under the command of SS_PVN and he allowed Sgt Canuck inside the tank while blindfolded.

Canuck had a bottle of vodka with him that he took off a dead Russian soldier and decided to share it with PVN & his crew. While the crew was in a merry state Canuck was allowed to find his way back to his lines.

This time was successful in finding his company telling them of this great tank that the SS tank commander told him was the Panther. His General told him to write a report on the Panther and Sargent Canuck spent the next few years creeping up to Panthers and gathering information while also trying to find out the best way to

destroy these beasts.

A few years later after destroying a panther with a captured german antitank mine rw found a wounded private in a burnt out half track he found it to be an unconsious Paul Von noggin.

After treating his wounds he helped PVN to find his way back to the German lines as he remembered the good times he spent with

PVN.
