Evening Grace Folks~

Happy Treadhead Tuesday!

Thanks to Freeper w_over_w for the idea for this thread

He does, however, wish to emphasize that his understanding and knowledge of Tanks and Tank Warfare is just about enough to cover the head of a pin (again, that's just about).

In what historian Stephen Ambrose (1997, 18) calls "one of the greatest intelligence failures of all time,"

Post Operation "Iraqi Freedom" Ambrose will need to edit that to read "greatest topographical intelligence failure". Still, this entire analysis of hedgegrow terrain is an excellent example of "homefield" advantage.

In the 2nd Armored Division Sgt. Curtis Culin, a cab driver from Chicago, designed and supervised the construction

These are the stories that I love! Only in America can a cabby under enemy fire in a foreign be the one to come up with a life saving idea and have a CO with the "chandeliers" to let him implement it. USA!!!!

The best source of supply for the steel prongs was the litter of 'Rommel's Asparagus' along the Normandy beaches.

Hats off to Rommel McDonald. One man's garbage is another man's invention.

Remember the USS Maine

Evening w_over_w.

"Rommel McDonald" LOL!

You gave my memory a good jog, I knew the Germans had the Nashorn and I thought I remembered the modified Shermans were called Rhinos. :-)

American troops are great at "field expedients"

Using Rommel's Asparagus just added insult to injury. I love it.

Steroid use by allied infantry enabled unconventional anti-tank tactics.

LOL! I guess it's almost as good as running up next to a Tiger and slapping a sock full of C4 on it.
