Default Re: German nicknames

point to ponder though; how many of the American/British tank 'nicknames' were those of the soldiers and how many the work of the properganda departments. Most of the allied armour is named after generals; the british SP artillery after clergymen (why was that does anybody know?) and before the outbreak of the war both the British and Americans simply made do with an alpha numeric designation.
