Uhm, let's see:

- any ad with Willy's in it (needs no explaining, does it?)

- an ad offering a "W.W.II German Hetzer Jagdpanzer 38 (T)-G13 1945 Tank
Destroyer - a real piece of W.W.II German Armor". So what's wrong with this
one, you might think? Well, a post-war G13 compares to a Hetzer as a
Hotchkiss M201 compares to a Willys MB...

As they say, my two Euro-cents worth,
