Veterans for Constitution Restoration is a non-profit, non-partisan educational and grassroots activist organization. The primary area of concern to all VetsCoR members is that our national and local educational systems fall short in teaching students and all American citizens the history and underlying principles on which our Constitutional republic-based system of self-government was founded. VetsCoR members are also very concerned that the Federal government long ago over-stepped its limited authority as clearly specified in the United States Constitution, as well as the Founding Fathers' supporting letters, essays, and other public documents.

Great thread today Sam. I'm learning a lot.

Zimmerit was an anti-magnetic compound preventing magnetic charges being placed on the vehicle.

Sounds like zimmerit was a good idea. I like the looks of the Flakpanzer 3.7. LOL. Looks like quite a big target though. Thanks for teaching me about tanks!
