From today's featured article
The Panzer IV was the most common German tank of World War II. It was an excellent tank early in the war, particularly because of its advanced communications equipment (radios). During the war it received some upgrades, but by the time the Allies deployed the T-34 and Sherman tanks in large numbers, it was becoming obsolete. The replacement Panzer V (Panther) tank was never manufactured in enough numbers to turn the tide of the war.

"What harm does it do if an online reference has a long tail of articles that are only interesting to a few people, so long as everyone can still find whatever they're looking for?" - Paul Graham
Dove thoughts by LeicesterLass
True freedom begins when you stop running from your own reflection. When you no longer reject the parts of yourself you do not understand. When you embrace the duality within, the contradictions, the complexity of your being. Only then can you move beyond illusion, beyond limitation.
– Dame Dove Hepburn (1980–2025)
