Thanks, thought it might be a Brit design. I know they came up with a flying jeep.

Egads.
Exit hatches in the side of the hull, itty bitty hatches in the sides of the turret..
That's pretty bad.
And yet it was a successful design.

Yeah, he just comes across as angry rather than well spoken, that's for sure.

1981 52 Americans held hostage in Iran for 444 days freed Think the Iranians knew they had someone who wasn't going to screw around with them?

Thanks. This might be of interest. The Nazi tanks attacked us while defending north of Stassbourg. The Nazis called this their operation "Norwind", their last attempt to break through our lines. It was cold and ground covered with snow. It was hard to convince command that their tanks were on our side of the Rhine because the tanks were painted white. Their buildup and crossing {however it was} was not observed.

I never understood the Non- caming of US tanks unless it was done by the crews themselves, I don't remember an official winter como scheme for the Americans. I remember "Nordwind" it was supposed to support the fighting in the Bulge and force Patton to shift troops

NO NO NO! As we ALL know Reagan bribed them to wait until he was president.
Ramsey Clark says so and I believe him...of course I also believe in the easter bunny, Willard never lied, and the moon is made of green cheese.

Tanks for another treadhead Tuesday, Sam! Great idea.
I thought that side door was a goofy idea too.
Too bad the U.S. didn't come to the same conclusion as the Germans in 1943 that the main battle tank needed to be redesigned to improve armor and firepower. We stuck with the "Ronson" to the end.
