Pretty sexy there! http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1708979801.jpg The enormous T10 Mine Exploder, based on the Sherman tank. It was fitted with giant steel wheels that would roll over and hopefully detonate mines below while being tough enough to withstand the blast. Their size allowed the tank to be kept high up off the ground, keeping it away from the blast. Smaller rollers at the rear trailed behind and cleared the gap left by the front wheels. https://tankhistoria.com/experimental/t10-mine-exploder/ http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1708979801.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1708979801.jpg British troops and American Rangers meet on the Anzio-Rome road in Italy on January 23, 1944. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1708979801.jpg Don't go down that road soon.

Belton Cooper, the author, was among the many tasked with the "recovery, repair, and maintenance" of US battle tanks etc during WWII. They were unarmed, but as they were having to repair equipment in the heat of battle, the "front line" was often very fluid when they had to fix or tow a tank. Consequently they often found themselves (what had become) behind enemy lines, and so they had high casualty rates. Further, the author suggests that if not for the poor Southern farm boys (shade-tree mechanics all), who'd grown up having to fix whatever they owned, we'd have been in pretty sorry shape. A good read FWIW. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1708984353.jpg |

This gas line happened to be laid straight through the skull of an Anglo Saxon woman.

The 5"/25 (127 mm) battery aboard the U.S. Navy battleship USS New Mexico (BB-40) prepares to fire during the bombardment of Saipan, 15 June 1944. Note the time-fuze setters on the left side of each gun mount, each holding three "fixed" rounds of ammunition; the barrels of 20 mm machine guns at the extreme right; and triple the 14"/50 (34.5 cm) guns in the background. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1709041461.jpg B-17 waist gunner, look at all those spent shells at his feet!
