I'm writing a story set in WW2 Germany, If anyone could help me answer some questions I'd be incredibly grateful:
If a character had a history of maintaining 1930s farm equipment, tractors, civilian vehicles etc, would any of those skills be transferable to working on tank engines? Is it at all plausible that they would be able to fix a tank, say a Russian T 34 or a Panzer 3 for example?
Would a person with no prior experience of tanks be able to drive one, or fire a shell?
Thanks in advance for any help with this
