Description: The Dogs of Wars are out racing across the country side in the M18 Hellcat. An American made light Tank with a powerful gun that was capable of the tank equivalent of the drive by shooting. This was the fastest tank on the block and Its speed was its best defense as it didn’t have the armour to take return fire from its heavier German opponents. Shoot then run, that was the way of this ambush predator.
Description: This Dogs of War illustration features the Russian KV2. It was a massive tank in its day. A huge 152mm howitzer was mounted in a battle ship style turret. It was slow, top heavy and cumbersome but almost impervious to attack. These dogs appear to run down a locals bicycle. They must have not been looking where they were going!
Description: In 1973 Rosenhan and his pals conducted a number of psychological experiments to determine the validity of diagnosis of mental patients. They sent participants to various mental hospitals who all complained of the same symptoms, (hearing voices). None of them were actually insane but all were diagnosed with schizophrenia. All were admitted and made to take anti-psychotic drugs. They then behaved normally and said they no longer had symptoms. There were released but were charged with continuing to take medication and were diagnosed with their condition in remission. The study showed that there appeared to be no way for the doctors to tell the genuinely insane from the sane when diagnosing their condition. Concerned the mental insti...
Description: The Churchill tank was Great Britain's entry level heavy tank at the beginning of WW2. it was designed before the war and draws heavily on what was learned about tank warfare during WW1. Think Armour, flat sides and high tracks that could cross trenches was the doctrine at the time and so such the Churchill suffered from having no angled faces capable of deflecting enemy fire. Even so it was a good vehicle and performed admirably for its crews.
Description: The Russian made T34 was one of the best, most rugged and practical tanks of ww2. This fighting vehicle was innovative and easy to mass produce. Although not the best tank of the war, in great numbers it was an effective weapon and one of the best fielded by the Soviet Union. This one is crewed by those pesky dogs of war and is an up-gunned version of the original T34 design. The T34/85
Description: part 2 of my dogs of war illustrations. This time it's a Sherman tank with a crew full of fuzzy hounds. The Sherman was a medium tank manufactured in America and fielded by the allies in WW2. This version is a firefly which is a British modification sporting a different turret and a 17 pounder gun that was more capable of knocking out a heavy German tank like the Tiger than the standard Sherman armourment.
Description: For Students of psychology this might make you laugh. This is a play on the famous experiment conducted my Milgram and his colleagues involving subjects electrocuting someone in an adjacent room under the instruction of an authority figure. Even though the person being shocked was screaming in pain the subject was asked to continue shocking the person. If the experiment was genuine and not a setup most subjects would have killed the person they shocked. Worrying results!
Description: The 5th addition to the series and those pesky dogs of war are at it again this time in a German made Jagdpanther. This is a ww2 tank destroyer specifically designed to engage and destroy other armored vehicles. It doesn’t have a turret so that it can instead posses stronger armor and a bigger gun.
