The German army, if anyone cares to study actual history was largely horsedrawn right to the end of the war.
LOL, Beat me to it Skosh.

Yes I saw the exploding cart.....must have been that 'special' type of haybales, probably for the stables at the petting zoo in the 'camp Zion' holliday park.

oh guys please.. it happened on both sides, you had to keep your head down because it was total war. The Germans did it, the Japanese did it (I'm sure the Italian did it too at some point), and God knows if the American and British did it as well.
It is a war crime, and when documented or reported it was also treated as such, unless some cases where the population put their hands on the pilots and tore them to bits. It's called collateral damage.

If memory serves me correctly, the Janes WWII Fighters Sim had legitimate Horese drawn targets.
I can see that there would be a certain reluctance on cruelty-to-virtual-animals grounds for not having them, though I'm surprised on a historical basis that ROF doesn't have them. Some how I don't think a poll based on 'give me animals to shoot (Y or N)' would be in good taste! Last edited by Skoshi Tiger; 05-30-2012 at 12:58 PM.

Well... I'm german and I think my grand/great-grand-parents deserved what has happened to a point, because of letting the nazis come to, and stay in, power, all too often willingly and knowingly (in all respects - see the self-protective "we didn't know" mantra) - but that is a bit over the top imo. Mainly thinking of the animals, which didn't deport a single jew etc., though.
Btw: Maybe the cart exploding at 43s is a horse-drawn steam engine, then used to process wheat etc. I think you can see it venting some steam just before the bullet hits (or it was already damaged from some previous attack). Albeit the cart looks rather small for that and I hardly believe those were moved around when under steam. Shrug. Last edited by Redroach; 05-30-2012 at 03:02 PM.

Hi all,
Any videos of German aircraft straffing refugee columns in France 1940? It happened. War is hell... Best Regards, MB_Avro

They were probably destroyed along with the RAF strafing Red Cross ambulance videos.
