THE 'RINGSTAND', ('TOBRUK')

Well, it would seem that a 'Tobruk', sort of like a bunker, was usually occupied by one man who operated a MG42 machinegun. There were variants on the Tobruk. There were Tobruks for flametrowers and coverd ones, with protected wall's, for the 50mm cannons.




And yeah, I googled the hell out of that answer.

pssssst Jay: it's faster if you pm Dinsdale.

Goddammit, I knew I missed a step.*
