M4 Sherman (Medium tank)

[Gunner]

Is that an Easy Eight?

Is that an Easy Eight?

No idea, but surely that shell increased its weight, too weight...

 

[HOA_KSOP]

Part pillbox, part tank....um, a Pink?

 

[mTk]

I think it's a "Tox."

 

[HOA_KSOP]

Good, very good...

 

[Nort]

Clearly, you two are cementing yourselves in the pantheon of FGM punsters.

Hmmm, with a Panzerschreck...

Serious looking stove pipe that is...

Pipes aboard a British Sherman tank near Argentan, Aug 1944.

 

[Gunner]

I wonder what it says on the side.

"THIS VEHICLE FILLED WITH ARTY ****...& MUST NOT BE...."

What? ....shaken or stirred?
...not sat upon while smoking cigarettes (Pipes OK).


I tried Googling warnings written on sides of Sherman's but couldn't find anything.

 

[Louis]

I wonder what it says on the side.

"Smoking is dangerous"

Crossing the Siegfried Line.

 

[Gunner]

There still be dragon teeth out in the forests on the borders of Luxemburg-Belgium-Germany.

One thing I didn't realize and is obvious to me now is how the "spikes" are interconnected. I always thought they were individual blocks.

I think it's same as on this Cromwell: The vehicle is filled with anti-freeze...

 

[Gunner]

Nice find Rico.
