    During Liberation column I got to see a whole parade of Shermans waking up and getting ready for their first day of convoy as Bastogne Barracks. Pure Sherman Tank porn!
    Dont forget to press like to appease the youtube Gods to spread the video far and wide! Thank for watching!

      Narrator: Here we see a herd of Shermans waking for another day. Life is hard for these Shermans. Against the many large felines they often clash to the death with, they simply have no recourse but unity.

      This Cobra King is an imposter in desperate need of some track tension. The real Cobra King is waiting for the completion of the museum being built for her. I remember seeing her in front of our Brigade headquarters in Erlangen, Germany. Then after the post closed she was moved to Vilseck. Then in 2004 she was brought back to the US

    You know Rita, the unit I was assigned to when I was stationed in Germany was the 2/27th Armored. It was elements of that unit which in WWII was known as the 37th heavy Tank, that first linked up with the 101st Airborne at Bastogne. The 37th Heavy Tank was the point Regiment of the 4th Armored Division of General George S Patton Jr.'s 3rd Army!

    It feels so good to see Cobra King running under its own power
    I spent three years in Germany trying to get people to start a restoration project
    but no one in the chain of command at that time had any interest
    instead they spend their time and effort restoring a fake Thunderbolt 7 (M4A1 76mm HVSS)
