[Milsurplus] Deutches Panzermuseum Munster.

[lbfulton at windstream.net]

I was an airline mech. and worked at the Leipzig/Halle Flughafen for 8 yrs. before I retired in '14. Read about this place: https://daspanzermuseum.de/en/exhibition/#exponate
and made quite a drive to visit it. It was worth the trip and very interesting. Apparently, Germany still builds tanks and sells them world wide.

Final comments, maybe, on ?Fury?. The overall plot was okay with me. But the tank crew were a generation older than
in reality. Check the photos in the book ?Spearhead?. Too much BS for me. You couldn?t have a movie with 18 to 25
year old stars, though, i guess. The ?washing out? the damaged tank was a scene inspired by maybe ?Deathtraps? book
by a tank maintenance man. I just watched a short film clip on WWII U.S. tanks. Anything that can rip thru that thick
metal like a beverage can is real bad news for the crew.

Say, did all U.S. tanks have the transmitter too in the SCR-508 set ?
I came across some reading recently that seemed to indicate there was no transmitter.
Dammit, i should have marked that source. No idea where i read that account now.

My father said he saw a US tank that a German AT round had gone completely thru, both sides. Not good.
A founder of the PSARA antique radios club in Seattle, Art Corbus, who did me many a good favor, was
tank recovery in WWII. He told me about being blown off an M4 while he was on it inspecting it for recovery.
He was tumbled completely off, but no major damage done. He also told me about the Falaise Gap and yes,
it?s true what you read about it.
