Try the one where they air dropped tanks with a live crew, live until they landed that is.

In the Second World War the Russians would drop partisans and irregular troops behind German lines........into snow fields from as low and slow as they could go, but WITHOUT parachutes.

Crazy.

Germany was right up there with some of their WWII stuff:

Wunderwaffe




^ Sun Gun.... deflects sun rays to a specific area of the planet

There's no limit to the human's imagination it seems.

Crazy how? An AN-2 (the plane they used for these drops) can get down to about 50 kph. They figured an 85% rate of survival (defined as landing able to fight).

You do what you have to do. If you'd ever served, you'd know that.
