Interest in NA & MTO is because of Grandfather in US Army service as an M3 Lee driver in Tunisia, then later driver/co-driver/gunner in Sherman in NA, Sicily, & Italy ...

You folks may have seen representations or photos of one or more of his tanks... 8 Ball is the large graphic on the 5 different vehicles that he was a member of the crew as described.

M4A1 Eightball (number 2)... KO'd in Tunisia...February 12, 1943...

Very gawdy looking at entry through Algeria... and this also shows a bit of the "Rainbow Colors" information that I have uncovered in researching for my book to be released on AFV Colors in NA...

US armor troops came to NA "brainwashed" in the thinking that their equipment was the finest in the world.

The German 75mm simply ripped them apart! The 88mm was more effective (of course) often went all the way through to the other side in close shots!

US Armor were too tall, too slow, too brightly painted & marked, too weakly gunned (no AT Rounds for the 75mm on the Lees in the early timeframe for NA), and too thinly armored... they "stunk" compared to the German AFV's of the same period!!!

A bit of story about my grandfather in NA is in the new AFRIKAKORPS: 1943 Special from Batailles & Blindes coming to print this fall...

The "kill" rate in normandy is stated as taking 5.4 Shermans to knock out one PIV, 8.2 Shermans to know out 1 Panther, and nearly 19 to one for the Tiger I... Tiger II's were rediculous at some 26 to 1...

This information is from the US Army Offices of Strategic Study and presented to officer's studying the 'mechanics' of tactics and operations. Air power dominated the blocking of German movements except by night in Normandy...

a mi tambien me sorprenden estos bichos , lastima que una vez vi unos pocos ( 12 ) que iba en vagones de tren sin torreta y seguro con destino cerro muriano y claro el tren en marcha.

como ya dije en el tema sherman m4a este junto al T-34 son los que más me gustan

No es una imagen, ni un gráfico, pero en general, uno se hace una idea del interior de un Tiger I.
