Thanks for the idea and picture for my ping list. ;-)

Max Hastings in his "Overlord" says that the Germans would set up an invulnerable tank at a cross roads in the Bocage country. American tanks had to advance up the road, right into deadly fire from a tank they couldn't destroy.

Then, Rhino. American tanks would bust through a few hedgerows, get around the German tank, and fire into the German's rear where he was vulnerable. Do that just a few times and the Germans would stop using the tactic.

Very, very pleasing to me. Makes up a little for Sidi Bou Zid.
