I’m sure these muzzie clowns don’t have repair facilities like the US.

Reading about Patton’s WW2 team, they were like race car pit crews when it came to tank repair.

“Reading about Patton’s WW2 team, they were like race car pit crews when it came to tank repair.”

Recalled from an uncle/tank commander’s tale telling: “Generally, a tank battle would be three or four tanks on each side, would range over three or four square miles, and would last three or four days. We’d hide from their bigger guns, only coming out to irritate them with our little guns. After a few days their tanks would break down or run out of fuel. They’d light them on fire and walk home. When our tanks broke down, they’d be fixed on the spot.”
