The full, true story is somewhat different. Battel was actually under orders from his superior, Max Liedtke. Their aim was to keep Jews alive for the Nazi war machine.

I said I'd let you Know when the  Dexta (Tractor) fired up. About an Hour ago. *(1700).  Even Idle.  Plenty of oil pressure. NO leaks. It's been HOT where I work under a Clear roof.  Still some wiring and Paint to finish, but NOW it can Be Moved..Nev

We can't believe you, unless you produce photographic proof of this astounding event. 😄

 THAT tractor is the Later Version with the 2 stage Clutch and A bit More Power. A Better Machine  because of that. Looks much the same. Mine was road registered when I Purchased it. (1973).. Same year I stopped buying newspapers. Nev

Don't talk about THAT Barsteward. He's Done a lot of DAMAGE in his Lifetime..  Nev

That bloke is SCRATCHING all the new paint on that Dexta, by driving it straight through the scrub, like a bulldozer!! Hasn't anyone told him, that's what bulldozers are for?  😢

It's an advertisement isn't it? Most farmworkers don't give a stuff either.  Nev

Must be a US built one. The colours are really OFF. Nev

It is very satisfying to use a heavy duty slasher on rough scrub.
