Morning Colonel. The Mk IV was the workhorse of the Wehrmacht, it served in various forms throughout the entire war and managed to hold it's own till the end.

We're not sure. We need to talk as a family. It is possible we may not be able to have a funeral until spring. All we can do now is wait.

Zimmerit was only used by the Germans but from what I've read it was mostly a wasted effort since there was such little usage of magnetic anti tank charges during the war.

The Germans themselves used them more frequently than the Allies did. Not a lot of use by the Russians, the British had PIATs and we had, of course, bazookas.

...from what I've read it was mostly a wasted effortbut it did seem like a good idea, in my limited knowledge opinion. ;-)

Yeah that's what I heard was the reasoning. Since the Germans used them they figured everyone else did.

It was a great idea, they just ended up "defending" against a threat that wasn't really there.

I looked at the M-5 stuart and it really does match with the exception of the box on the rear and fenders. Of course, this one could have been modified over the years. The M2A4 and the M3 and M3A1 were all very similar. They'd all be "Stuarts". The M-5 was a complete resign of the hull and rework of the turret; mechanically and so far as the gun was designed, it was the same.
