Authorities in upper Bavaria are investigating the appearance of a mock Nazi Tiger tank in a carnival parade that was marked with the words "asylum defense".
Shocked carnival-goers at the Fasching celebration watched as the tank -- in reality a car with a cardboard structure built on top of it -- rolled through the town of Steinkirchen bei Pfaffenhofen.
As well as the anti-refugee slogans, the fake tank also bore the Balkenkreuz symbol seen on Nazi armored vehicles. ...

Not defending the Nazi symbols, but this is a good sign. Germans are waking up to the horrors of electing their own version of Obama.
Cover up rapes by migrant thugs on New Year’s Eve and at swimming pools; investigate a cardboard tank that looks like something from WWII. Welcome to modern Germany!
The commie libs are upset that the German people are standing up to them. Gotta have one of dem dare “investigations”.
EU take note. You’ve awakened something best left asleep.
I believe the iron cross predated the Nazis and is still in use by their military.
Now if only our own electorate would wake up to the horrors of electing a tyrant like 0, but the Dem base is if anything more radical that four years ago. Look at the support from the base for the far left openly communist Bernie Sanders
Dang. That’s a pretty nice job.
A Tiger tank? This is an outrage!
They definitely should have used a Tiger II- better vehicle all around.
When a government won’t protect its citizens, it’s up to the citizens to protect themselves.
That’s pretty cool!
Heh! They even included smoke grenade dispensers on the turret...nice job!
Ramming speed!

That is the very definition of anarcho-tyranny.
At least it wasn’t a Maus.
I’m impressed with the build.

Naaa, the Tiger II was too big. They usually had to keep it on paved roads due to its excessive weight, especially after it rained. And it was slow.
The thing was a beast, though, No tank in the world could hope to go against it.
Not bad for about 2/3 scale replica
