Fake History Porn

Welcome to /c/fakehistoryporn@lemmy.world , where fake history is made. Find a historically significant photo, come up with a fake history title, post it, laugh.

The name is a reference to the fact that the pictures should be worth marveling at. This is NOT a place for hardcore pornography. Tasteful nudity is fine as long as it fits within the context of the post (please mark it as NSFW).

Reality: This is, I think, a Sherman Mine Clearing tank, which were used in WWII. Flails (the heavy chains) are still a relatively popular form of mine clearing.

Rocket flail chain minesweeping? Disastrous humanitarian landmine considerations aside, that sounds cool as hell.
