Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By outofbattery: That Sherman was destroyed by a Jagdpanther along with 2 sister tanks in Uedem,German March 1945. I looked for other pics of tanks from C squadron 3rd/4th County of London Yeomanry to see if there was perhaps another picture of what exactly they piled on that tank as it's so regular shaped and found some interesting things: Looks like perhaps a trough piled on this one https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a2/64/d6/a264d65e37c3e60ea862c1c252cfa919.jpg This was neater though,look at the chicken wire on the turret https://collection.nam.ac.uk/images/960/105000-105999/105517.jpg To be used to apply wattle and daub,I guess you might call it,camouflage https://collection.nam.ac.uk/images/960/103000-103999/103771.jpg |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Dog1: I took a Russian history class for my history degree back in the late 80s. My professor, a legitimate Professor not a guy with a teaching certificate calling himself a professor, who taught the class had spent some time in Russia. One class one of the students a girl, said something to the effect that how bad could have Stalin been, considering the things that Hitler done. Dr. Thackery went into a 45 minute for the lack of a better term he damn near yelled at her for 45 minutes, telling her the truth about Joseph Stalin. I just sat back and smiled. When class was over that girl left the room practically in tears and never returned it to class. I'm sure somewhere she is probably a Bernie supporter with her 15 cats |

They used low level bombing with B-25's and A-20's but the planes would catch fragmentation from their own bombs from dropping so low. Someone came up with the idea of adding a parachute and the slower descent gave the aircraft enough time to depart the area before the bomb functioned. |
