An Austrian soldier did that.
He did not drive to a bar, he just wanted to go home and he decided to use his tank.
Sorry, apparently he was drunk as a skunk and wanted to see his girlfriend. [/quote]
can’t read your link, but I will take your word for it.
i’m not saying crazy shit hasn’t happened in the military. hell I know in America some guy jacked a tank (I think it was a Sherman?) and was driving it on a freeway. the nat guard was gearing up a M1 to take it out but I think the guy committed suicide before the other tank left.
but imo OP’s stories have too many holes in it.
if he was a tanker and jacked his tank, maybe. to be a dude at tank school and do it? doubtful.
if you could sum up that story i’d be really interested to hear how it happened. lol insane.

Apparently he had problems with his girl friend so he decided to impress her.
Naturally, he had to down a bottle of whisky before he took the ride, then he took the tank from Zwölfaxing, which is in lower Austria right into Vienna wreaking havoc on the way, because he had not finished his training yet.
Among his victims were a few cars, electric wiring that was above ground and a bus, to which he added a few more cars once he actually was in Vienna.
The police tried to stop him with a police tank, which kind of did not work, then the 225 police men present opened fire, firing over 2000 shots in total which did not make a lick of difference.
He finally stopped when he tried to go under a bridge but hit one of the concrete pillars.
Noone was injured, so I guess it was all in good fun.
