It seems that Teruel is actually the good name according to this 1937 paper from UK.
“Toruel” only refers to the possible ethymology of the name, the city was, as i understood never named like that.

That name was use in English too, at least in 1930s it was more common than Spanish name.

We used swastika on our tanks and it was symbol of our air force, long before nazis made it political and made it they’re own. Many people get it confused by that. So Cross it’s German. Swastika and it’s our tank.

So yeah, that BT-5 picture is real deal.

That Winter War picture. The BT has a swastica on it. I doubt that the Finns would do that. They would probably use a large cross like their flag.

Also the finnish General Mannerheim did not like the Germans so he would not have approved it either. It was the Finnish president who arraigned the treaties with Germany.

The first image to pop into my head was some sort of landship that could also go into the water, just like a hippo, big an amphibious XD
