During November of 1943, a German tank ace called Otto Carius was tasked with commanding a platoon of tiger tanks near the Belarusian city of Vitebsk. During the time Russian planes was spotted up above. Carius fed up with the constant barrage of bullet pinging against his and his men's heavy armored tanks, he decided to shoot a plane by aiming the tank's barrel up at them. He succeeded on his second try. Then again Otto Carius was a Nazi, meaning we can't really boast how cool this was.
