So Dien Bien Phu is a step closer.

I've always liked the Chaffee.  Last one I saw was in Vienna in September.

I much prefer toffee.

One of my favourites...watched 'The Bridge at Remagen' countless times as a kid...overjoyed when Matchbox brought one out in 1/76. Horrified when I found out that the real tanks in the fight were Shermans! lol.
Ps: a similar scenario to the film can make for a very good game...so long as the Germans cannot possibly blow the bridge until very late!

Chaffees for Shermans also in Battle of the Bulge(?). And I think there was some other film (set in the desert) where a chaffee was used as Panzer III(?)


[btw liked the toffee gag, Leman]

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Probably Patton. It's a long time since I've seen it, but I'm sure the German tanks of the Afrika Korps were actually US machines from the 50's or 60's.

The King Tigers in Battle Of The Bulge were also US machines - either M41 or M47, I think.
