  • Never ask a man his salary Never ask a woman her age Most importantly, never ask Mercedes Benz what they did between 1939-1945.
  • i fell in love with Hogan’s heros after seeing how hilarious it is when my husband and father-in-law watches it. I love another show called Allo’ Allo’ so funny!

    "A Bridge too Far" highlights some examples of command flags as well.

    When Johnny says "and have a nice rest of your day" I usually do. Thanks Johnny
  • I glad somebody still remember Hogan's heroes it's a classic
  • A command flag and driver could solve some of my midlife crises
  • The Wheatcroft car resides at Donnington racing car museum in the UK. He also owns a lot of military vehicles and Harley Davidson US military bikes. Its a great place.
  • Apparently Hitler liked being driven at 100 miles an hour along the autobahns – and let's face it even if there had been speed limits I guess no traffic cop was going to stop him.

    That restored Mercedes was gorgeous. They are badly underpowered but very cool vehicles.

    Boy do I miss Hogan's Heroes! I'd watch reruns as a kid and I always loved their contraptions and gadgets.
  • I'd love you to cover WW2 motorcycles. Ever since MGS3, I've had a fascination with them, especially the Harleys. Great idea for a new series actually.
  • @blue387
    I would recommend a video on the Opel Blitz, a common truck for the Wehrmacht during the war
  • Back when a Mercedes could put literal Light-seconds on the odometer between breakdowns… nowadays, you’ll be lucky to get 150-200k miles on a brand-new Mercedes before major problems.

    "Did you know mercedes made a 6-wheeler long before that one ?"

    I've seen this car twice! The first time in Bergeijk at Automusa, a car museum in 2005 and in 2021 in the National Military Museum in Soesterberg. Cool! In "Von Ryans Expresse" he had a nice supporting role.
