Re: Patton museum, Fort Knox
Grim Reaper? I'm sure many an allied tanker thought that. I have an observation that I'd sure like to hear some opinion on. I've noticed that the German armor had drive sprockets that were raised higher than the road wheels. This lets the tracks 'slop' around as the tank moves, and after watching film of a refurbished Panther, they move quite a bit. I've also read that the Germans had continous problems with track breakage due to using steel connecting pins. So, does anyone know why the Germans designed their armor like this? Russian and American tanks had 'tight' tracks, and from what I've read, had more reliable track service. I'm at fire school for a few days, and if I'm not too worn out afterwards, I'll post some more pics.

Check out the prototype of the T29E3. Looks like an oversized Sheridan.
