Sorry I was gone so long. Overtime, and like that.
Okay, the first tip is that I read this term in a memoir, written by a German.
Okay, another.... He was W-SS...
Nobody? Okay, the term was used in this particular instance, way up north.
Gee, maybe this was more arcane than I thought! The term was used to describe a piece of enemy equipment.
Okay,
somebody take a stab at it, and I'll give it to the person who comes closest!
