One of the best dios I have seen of late was a WWII German one. Featured a group of soldiers and tankers playing a soccer match in a town square with their vehicles off to one side.

Now maybe something along this lines with WWI German mechanics playing a small game of soccer during a smoko break..

Or a crash dio with a pilot being pulled out of his plane by the mechanics as he just made it home.

Or as seen in some WWI pics of a High ranking German officer chatting to the pilots during a visit.

Hope these help the creative juices..

Put a bloody big British tank in the middle with a red tripe squashed underneath it. Have the tank commander stood twizzling a football on his finger. Skulking around with their hands up, a group of Hun Officers and mechanics.
Hope this helps. :)
Your very good friend,

Or, how 'bout a few of the German officers and mechanics dancing arm in arm to an accordian player, with a few of the cooks spitting a wild boar over an open pit, the hunter standing to one side with an opened shotgun over one arm, quaffing a beer, with a couple of his fellow officers slapping him on the back for a job well done? HTH. ;) :D

That's it old bean. :)
What's more I've given your project even deeper cogitation. Drill out the Officer's arm and put a little motor under the base, when the punters press a button the football twizzles for real!
I'm not sure about the gear ratio to achieve a realistic twizzle, so Missy is working on this with her slide rule as we speak.
Not wanting to winge, but must I do ALL the constructive thinking round here. ???

:-[How about some poor pilot trying to pick up a machine, and some office 'Pogue', standing there with a ream of papers and handing him a pen? That'll work anywhere. I like the idea of the "hunter" with the gun, quafing BEER; but shouldn't the hog (pig?), be being skinned instead of on the spit? Takes a while to dress a hog ya know. I mean I'm not saying I've ever done that, but every year at 'Tgiving', and again at 'Easter', for 16 years, gives me an edge. Also make sure the hog (pig), is suspended head down with the skin underneath to catch the guts (that's entrails to you city folk). Just a suggestion. However a hunter with a broke-open gun, and 2 or 3 game birds in the same hand, with a beer stein in the other would also work. John

Stephan;
How about a scene where a German plane has justed landed beside the British tank. The plane had dropped a bomb on it, several tank crewmen are dead and or badly wounded. The airmen are admiring their good work.

One idea I've always had in the back of my mind was suggested by an illustration in a old general interest book on WWI aviation. The concept was the fact that airplanes took over the traditional role of horse cavalry. The drawing was something like a BE-2a on the ground, pilot and staff officer looking over map, while a group of soon-to-be-obsolete lancers trot by, gawking at this unwonted intruder.....
