Great shots of the tanks. Also perfect American propaganda with the blue skies and rugged young soldiers.

Re: Colour photos from Fort Knox '42

Yes, the photos is great n' so is the colour still after all these years, n' yes, these rugged hard boiled tankers haven't the slightest clue of what expect 'em in their obsolete vehicles when they'll meet the Germans later on.

Re: Colour photos from Fort Knox '42

The best part is that it's Allied armor. We need more of that here.
