Re: WWII Tank Duel During The 'Battle for Cologne'
the Pershing didnt show until February 45 so its use in the european theater was limited, but was the finest tank in the field at the time (big upgrade from the sherman, god what an ugly death trap), by then the germans were fucked, out of supplies and men, and with the combination of many experimental rushed into production machines that never lived to their myth, like the king tiger and other monoliths, the germans were merely being picked apart at that time, amazing vid, i saw it once on tv when i was a kid, but never with the missing leg part, they only showed the dying germans crawling out
