Do you got any funny stories from war? I think this one is entertaining.
From Heinz Guderian in his book, Panzer Leader:
.... "This drive took me unexpected through the middle of Russian infantry, wich had come up in lorries to the very outskirts of Slonim and was on the point of dismounting. I ordered my driver, who was next to me, to go full-speed ahead and we drove straight through the Russians; they were so suprised by this unexpected encounter that they did not even have time to fire their guns. All the same they must have recognised me, because the Russians press later enounced my death; I felt bound to inform them of their mistake by means of German wireless."
