Viborg shall always be Swedish! Karelia is Finnish!

Sounds like the worst kind of coward.

Rubber dinghy rapids, bro!

As opposed to paying a cable subscription to watch ad-ridden "news" channels and crap like the History Channel? Aye, right.

Nene was just as important - didn't see much British service, but it powered the MiG-15.

Fun fact - Borgward was one of the most successful German firms at ripping off the Nazi government for useless war kit in WWII. They managed to convince the Reich to buy over 1000 of these profoundly idiotic vehicles.
