Leaving the same trail of dead Nazis and sabot age which has been the subject of pictures since. Hitler invaded Austria, Errol Flynn, Ronald Reagan, and company tear and blast their way across Germany to the Dutch frontier with blood, sweat, and doubletalk.

In a rather dull game of social significance and truck theft, the pickers beat the packers...
