  5. Does Germany have different packaging for ether starting fluid than the US? If that wasn't ether what was it? That looked like a pump pressure design not a aerosol pressurized can. Motor ran too long for it to be just a blast from ether.

  7. Video showed jerry-can and tube setup on chair behind engine. Could have been ether, alchol or even plain fuel, once injector / fuel pump kicks over it will start.

  8. Not a Maybach engine as used in Panzers and other wehrmacht armour but a Continental AV1790 used in US Armour
