the_dunk_tank
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Kill counts in general are sus in war but the Axis bloated out their kill counts habitually. There are a few well documented engagements where the SS would claim they destroyed hundreds of Allied tanks but you look at the Allied records for that day and they'll say something like "We lost 3 out of 50 tanks we have in the area."
I remember checking wikipedia for the tiger tank and they said back to back on the page, "They destroyed 300 soviet tanks and suffered zero losses in the first engagement (dead source linked)." followed by, "German tank-crews had self reported kill counts(actual source linked)."
anyway I remember them telling me that all of Häyhä's kills were confirmed because they went to his spot and found all the bullet casings. Even as a child I was like "I thought he had to move constantly because they would've gotten him otherwise?" sad fash propaganda
