Hope they get the joke

Tourists to Berlin will soon be able to enjoy something they weren’t able to a few years ago – rolling around the city in an East German tank.

The tank is built around around an east german car known as the Trabant

It will be painted camouflage green and have a fake cannon on the roof, and will give people an alternative to a tour bus to see the sights of the city.

The Trabant has a reputation somewhat like Skoda had a few years ago, so perhaps the manufacturer is hoping this will create a cult following.

The German daily Bild has called the idea ‘tasteless’, which no doubt will massively increase interest  (among brits at least)
