These figures are great though that guy under the tank won't be with us much longer if someone knocks that jack. I'd suggest depicting him with large wooden blocks next time. And yes, it is refreshing to see a group of non-pointing German service men without a single binocular or MG-42.

Actually the guy under the tank would NOT get crushed, if the jack fails, becauce the Pz. IV tanks had a ground clearence of 40 cm, which is plenty of room. But yes, it could be a funny diorama, with the legs sticking out from under the hull Jacob

There are actual films of "tank fighting technique " that feature tanks running over prone soldiers. It was real training. Then for crewman there's the underside escape hatch training. You don't stand in front of the track as it can and will fall over the wheels or the tank tracks can roll over you. But under is part of procedures and training.

The tank crushing you never enters your mind or its not the first thought. Complaining about not having leverage, the ground not being idea (mud, rocks, wet, cold etc) and the tools sucking because some REMF picked what they thought you needed, plus the fact you think the guy on the outside is a idiot to start with and cannot do his job will keep your mind busy till your task under the tank over.
