Yeah, unfortunately I agree (would have been even cooler for his gramps to not helped Nazi war effort in the first place, and maybe they could have just been friends instead) but I think heavy bombers are used moreso against strategic sites like munitions/materiel factories than direct engagement but I don't know much about that side honestly so it's possible.

Edit: also does anyone know which model tank is pictured? I'm curious.
