A promotional image from the Polish TV series Four Barrel-Men and a Dog (Czterej Pancerni I Pies) which was produced and aired from 1966 to 1970. The show's plot would follow four members of a Polish StuG-III assault gun during the Second Great War on the Eastern Front, commanded by Olgierd Jarosz (played by Roman Wilhelmi) until his death in one of the episodes, in which his replacement would be radio operator/gunner Janek Kos (played by Janusz Gajos). The other members of the crew would be loader Gustaw Jeleń (Franciszek Pieczka), Georgian-born driver Grigorij Saakaszwili (Włodmeirz Press), and the replacement gunner Tomasz Czereśniak (Wiesław Gołas) as well as Kos' own German Sherpard named Fellkugel (German word for furball). The show would gain a massive cult following in Poland as well as in Eastern Europe and even a substantial fanbase in Germany, the Danubian Federation, the Ottoman Empire, and in the United States of America.
