Trivia?
Who was the Battalion Commander, who was also his own Tank Commander, who drove the first tank through the German lines to relieve the 101st at Bastogne?
Creighton Abrams.
“Who was the Battalion Commander, who was also his own Tank Commander, who drove the first tank through the German lines to relieve the 101st at Bastogne?”
Would that be Lt Charles Boggess, commander of the jumbo Sherman “King Cobra”?
Yes, I had to look it up!
Very interesting story.
The King Cobra now resides in the National Museum of the US Army near Fort Belvoir.
New addition to my bucket list!
