Do parking brakes lock the wheels and airframe together? (YouTube) Wildcat undercarriage.

For planes with non-truck undercarriages, can they be rotated around the lateral axis of the main landing gear with the brakes applied without causing translation?

My answer is no, they must be locked and there must be translation (image below).

I had the following comment on a recent answer, and frankly I'm not quite sure, hence the question.


  [They] are wheels. The whole structure is free to rotate around this 'locked' axle...


I don't agree, imagine chocks are placed forward of the main landing gear:


A) Frame is locked, blue man can't lift as he can't cause translation.
B) Frame is not locked, plane rotates around wheels (from the wheels' perspective, they're free moving).


(Original) Above shows what I mean by translation, the plane moves forward (blue distance) with the wheel—plane frame (red lines) being locked. (Brakes are applied.)

Note: This question has nothing to do with deceleration or a running engine.
Yes, the parking brakes lock the wheel and the airframe together. If the brakes are not applied, the wheel can rotate round the axle. 

If the wheel's position is fixed to the ground (e.g. by adding chocks, but the brakes are not applied, then the aircraft will rotate round the wheel axle when the tail is lifted by the blue man. 

If the brakes are applied, but the wheel's position is not fixed to the ground, the aircraft will rotate round the wheel's point of contact with the ground. Since the contact point moves as the wheel rolls, this results in translation in addition to the rotation.

If both the brakes are applied and the wheels are on chocks, the wheels either have to roll over the chocks or something (the wheel, the chock or the brake) will have to slip.
