Thought you might be interested.

Sure was. I've seen most of that material as far back as 1966, when I was going through Armor MOS training at Ft Knox. The WWII archives of the Patton Museum were made available to us, and a tour of the place was on our activities.

Having it here, saves me having to go to Ft Benning to find it. Thanks. Beat another training film any day....

Saw some of these German tanks on tours of Aberdeen Proving Ground during my 1961 or 1963 Engr EOOC school at Ft Belvoir, VA. Also demo of multi barreled Vulcan during one of these tours.

Long article, but the “fighting the last war” syndrom is ever-present.

And is still with us today.
