No secret, now even Laura knows.

Today's thread was excellent and we had a lot of good comments and as always good friends stopping in. I hope you don't run out of tanks. I like TreadHead Tuesday.

It's time for me to turn in so I'll say goodnight. Good night Sam. ;-)

Somehow I doubt Laura reads Treadhead Tuesday.

See you tomorrow, good night, Snippy.

It would appear SOME Europeans get it.

I was on in Boston in 1970.

I understand Perot has some planking of her in his office.

I wonder if Kerry met with King George and got his endorsement.

Of course, it's none of my business.

Just out of curiosity, how much is it worth to you to NOT have Mrs. SAMWolf know about you and Laura Ingram?

I'm thinking we're witnessing the rise of McKerryism.

"Are you now, or have you at any time, been a member of the Republican Party?"

Have you at last no decency, Senator? Oh, that's right, it's none of my business.

One things for sure, every Socialist and Communist Country seems to be backing him. That should be ringing alarm bells in every American.

One size bigger than the M4 Sherman of the same scale, the Heavy Tank Type VI King Tiger lives up to its name

Why, the Sherman looks like a little toy--oh.

The well-armored Royal Tiger is better armed than the standard Tiger. The Model 43 88 has a length of 71 calibers (71 times 88 mm), as compared with 56 calibers for the older Tiger's KwK 36. The Model 43 has a muzzle velocity of 2,460 feet per second with high explosive, and as much as 3,708 feet per second with armor-piercing rounds. Since the time of flight of an armor-piercing round at a range of 2,200 yards is 2.2 seconds or less, accuracy and correction of fire against moving targets is greater than with older tank and antitank guns.

Evening Phil Dragoo.

I had the Tamyia Model of the King Tiger with the Porsche Turret. Unfortunately, I trusted my in-laws to move it to Oregon. It didn't survive the trip.

I wish that was my garage! Maybe someday I'll be able to buy an Armor Museum. :-)

More BicycleSpankenTruppen! The IT Brigade looks good, I like cherry tarts.:-)

Gasp does that kid have a firearm!!! What would the hankie-stompers have to say about that??

Snippy teases me about Laura, cuz I told her I like her voice. That'll teach me.

Some great photos on those links. I got to crawl around on the King Tiger Peiper's Kampfgruppe abandoned in Le Gleize, Belgium.

Hey -- What if George Washington had a King Tiger? How could he have gotten across the Delaware?

One of Henry Knox's AVLB assault bridges, of course! And perhaps a few pontoons....

Very nice PhilD. But there's another Panzer, though a not a KingTiger, that I don't think you'll want to overlook:

Helmut...1/3rd scale...working main gun and bow gun....

Good heavens, man! Whilst on one's bi-cycle?!? Or do they come to a halt and dismount first?
