russian anti tank dogs!!!!!

Yeah, nobody thought that maybe the dogs who were used to the sounds and smells of familiar Soviet tanks in relatively peaceful conditions, wouldn't be so keen to run under the German tanks in the midst of an armoured column ambush. There was also the issue that stray dogs in the region were reported through German military channels to be rabid, and were therefore shot on sight. As a result there were very few dogs left on the Eastern front before long anyway.
