You missed the ones that had us scared to death at times the Pz Mk V1- and the PzMk V- if the pre war "leaders' didn't argue so much- we might have had the
Comet with 17 pounder in 1942 as well…

Cheers

 

Tom, remember this recent thread?

I think we all get your drift!.

CK,

I agree with Tom Cannings post No6 regarding the huge difference in Armour thickness and Canon calibre.

When you see the likes of a Churchill next to a Tiger or Panther it makes me cringe that our troops were ordered to go up against tanks that could stand off and pick off their Targets well before the Allied Tanks could get in range.

Do I see two King Tigers in your photographs? One with the later Henschel Turret in the background?

Regards
Tom

Yes I remember that thread - sadly you missed visiting Sapper - shame as Sheila serves a great cup of tea and a few hours

of laughter at the stupidity of it all…

Cheers

 

Tom.........Time permitting I will be there next time around..........!

Smudger, Yes the museum is very fortunate in having both examples of the King Tiger - a remarkable tank!.

No one can seriously doubt the might of the Panzer Force!

Von Poop what did they say about the Valiant......The sole Valiant was retained by the School of tank technology, where students were treated to an inspection of it at the end of their course and invited to find fault. David Fletcher wrote of this: "One hopes they started early in the morning."
