Hiding From Tank by Bellumsaur

Hiding From Tank

Bellumsaur

Inspired by having played through Band of Brothers: Hell's Highway at the time, this was a depiction of a (female) Confederate paratrooper taking cover behind a shed in a Dutch village, near the Confederate 28th Parachute Division's target of the bridge at Son during Operation Market Garden. She's visibly nervous as a large French Char G1R medium tank rumbles by, a vehicle she has no means of even disabling, without any anti-tank grenades or a Rochambeau Mk. 3 shoulder-fired spigot mortar at hand.

It's easy to note her camouflage tunic, a direct copy of the British style, as well as her grey helmet; the Confederate States Army utilized a lot of British (and French-inspired) equipment, in addition to more locally-designed implements. Her primary armament a Griswold Mk. 11 carbine, widely-produced and chambered for .276 Hatcher (a shortened variant of the .303, based off of the Enfield round), and designed by "Carbine" Williams, a noted Confederate weapons designer.

This one I remember being a pain, trying to research Dutch village houses, French prototype tanks, and Carbine Williams' designs, as well as coloring her tunic and said Dutch houses.
