"Clang, Clang, CLANG!!"
6 years ago
I have been studying history since my junior high days in the mid 60s. Military history is a very big part of that.. Over 50 some years I've come across stories and reports of unit and individual bravery that leave me both in awe and humble that there are such men who accomplish things in battle that there are times I wonder if we, and the other nations they are from, can EVER be worthy of them
Until a few days ago the charge attack of the Taffy 3 destroyer and destroyer escorts and a delaying action at a bridge during the early stages of the Battle of the Bulge, plus a single handed attack on a German held town by one nutcase Canadian, were, and still are, the top feats that have my utmost respect. But, when it comes to guys with some serious brass ones it's hard to beat these guys.

I've been circled and killed by smaller, faster armored cars and light tanks so often its just become routine.
Now I know where that idea first came from.
I'd have never known it was a real event but for this- thank you.
My handle is "Badgerknight".
-Badger-
-And that was on "Easy-Easy" setting too.
So it's interesting to see that there was some basis in truth to the cinematic side of the story. I DO like the idea of the little M8 scout car and it's plucky crew taking out the Tiger tank though. And I liked the little "Lesson" at the end of the video too.
