Kenny Andrew Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 Another excellent Mark Felton Production, Task Force Baum - Patton's Insane Rescue Mission 1945 as mentioned in the previous video. 4 1 Quote
Fritz Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 Patton is the General who slapped the wounded/sick soldier's face. I think this sort of behaviour is not acceptable and disqualifies him. This sort of behaviour would never have been tolerated in the Wehrmacht. He also has a visual similarity to Donald Trump. 3 Quote
Kenny Andrew Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 Yes that's the first thing I thought too, when I looked at the video, had never thought about that before. Apparently some people in the US think he is the reincarnation of Patton because Patton died in 1945 and Trump was born in 1946. They certainly do look similar to each other and have the same characteristics. 4 Quote

Now that's a monster of a tank.Thanks for posting. Always been impressed on a visual level by the Char B1 as a young lad into WW2. It was that massive cannon & the fact it had 2 guns that did it for me. Still grabs me now. Photo source Wikipedia 6 1 Quote

Gildwiller1918 Posted November 14, 2022 Posted November 14, 2022 Captured Carden-Loyd Mk.VI in Belgian Service. The MK VI was equipped with a 47mm gun and had very light armor, mainly relying on speed and mobility. However the weight of the gun pretty much maxed the out engine and most of these vehicles broke down. The ones captured by the German had their armaments stripped and were eventually scrapped. 4 Quote

These tanks were constantly being modified, so there are many variants. 4 Quote
