    i was fully expecting to see black and white pictures of some german soldiers testing a newly built weapon, was surprised to see a football player carrying a hotdog-shaped cannon.

    the broken/fake german did make me suspicious, so i should've seen it coming.

    EDIT: imagine a Schwerer Gustav[0] shooting a huge sausage, that's where my brain was going.

    EDIT2: according to wiki Gustav can shoot 14 rounds per day, so we could deliver 14 of these sausages[1] daily. why? not sure, combating food scarcity in a different continent without having to actually go there.
