LOL. Just as good as it is to know you like the young ladies. ;-)

It was a common tactic when the Panthers and Tigers appeared. Have a cute spankentruppen ride in front of the tank to distract the krauts so the Sherman could get in behind for the kill.

The tread at right of photo appears to be snow fence.

More on the order of the arctic vehicles, very wide tracks.

Yes they built a good basic product, a ROBUST hull etc., and thus could use it for a variegated profusion of Mr. Potatoheads.

I ran a 57 Chevy pickup for twelve years which had a strong frame and general stoutness not found in later years.

It was amenable to much replacing of components from axles to transmission to engine, steering box, springs--

Had to laugh at the front leaf springs constantly bowed under the weight of the upgunning and added armor.

McBride's Springs would keep rearcing and adding leaves to my old Chevy--surely Krupp was equal to such work.

Boys and their toys as empires fell and the heavens rained bombs.

Everytime I hear the song "I've Been working on the railroad" I see those Shermans coming out of that tunnel.

Was that a great scene or what!
