What would they fire, if the canon is real in the first place?

Use google image search for kinderpanzer and you will some other ones including T-34/85s and SU-100 lookalikes

[Salzburg]

What a wonderful way for nations to resolve their differences: children fight a 'war' on a football ground for 90 minutes with their tanks and then adjourn for crisps and ginger beer.

I wonder if there are any panzers left!
Maybe in some Russian museums.

I didnt notice any when I visited Kubinka, but considering all the hardware there, they might have one tucked away.

That equipment and the uniforms say Russki!

I know I should find that disturbing and all kinds of wrong... But, man, are those things cool or what!

Come to think of it, i had to play with stupid little plastic tanks and still thought I was lucky to grow up in the capitalist part of the country!

My thoughts exactly, when I saw the pic's! But when you have a better look, you don't see many happy faces!
Makes me think we were better of still!!!

Yeah, I noticed to soviet influence as well. I'll bet the parents were like," they should be driving panzer III's and wearing black berets!" Lol..
But, seriously, these are cool pics.
Here's a pic from my collection showing a young boy on a panzer III wearing a beret.

I saw that, too. Wonder what they are thinking?

Maybe, "and they said Hitler was bad."

This Is Just A Joke, lol.

They are also probably thinking..." I used to blow Ruski tanks up with my PF's!"
