Two seperate comments.
Re the first photo - Herr General looks old enough to be the US officer's father or even grandfather.
Re the second photo - you can only imagine the feeling the tank crewmen had as they passed the burnt out hulk of another Sherman in that paddock.
Love the jodphur pants :) Did you know that Hitler designed the SS uniform after seeing a photo of a NJ State Trooper?
That does not surprise me in the slightest. Not for what it stands for or any love and admiration of the Nazis but I have always thought the black SS uniform was hands down the best looking of all uniforms.Quote:

Wow, what are the odds that when the turret fell back down that the barrel would jab into that open hatch?
Odds similar to a tornado hitting a junk yard and producing an F-16.Quote:
