As the war neared it's end, the Nazi regime became more desperate to stave off the Soviet forces, so the turned to the "Great Reptiles" exhibit at the Dusseldorf Zoo. The Tyrannosaurus Rexes "controlled" by the SS failed miserably, as they'd eat anything, regardless of what uniform it wore, and the Luftwaffe's attempts to teach Pterodactyls to dive bomb were a waste of time, as they all migrated back to Skull Island* as soon as they were released. Only the army had any success, with their JagdTriceratops I. Their powerful neck muscles and huge horns were perfectly suited for flipping over T-34s, and the head was armoured enough to handle small arms fire. Initial successes ends once the Russians discovered mortar fire made short work of the large lizards, and also that they tasted just like chicken!
