Bildunterschrift:

Admittedly, the English term "steamroller tactics" sounds slightly more threatening than its German counterpart "Holzhammermethode" (literally, "mallot method"). But you might change your mind if you were on the receiving end of the Holzhammermethode -- whether it's a teacher's impossible tests, a cut-throat work atmosphere, or a large country's foreign policy. Little Rover here doesn't seem worried though.
