1. Name the model of the vehicle called Secston.
2. These ten vehicles were built for a particular world war but were used in another one. Six of them were rushed to join the fight but appeared too late and the crews had to destroy them. Four of these vehicles were captured by enemies. Name all ten of them.

Heh, that made me giggle. What makes this joke even funnier is that people are posting in here thinking this is serious Russian bias. :v

Overlord is known to have a great sense of humour when dealing with these types of people. If only his English was a little better.
