Country:  | The (small) German contingent here in Fontainebleau wear their cam kit around town, to the great dislike of the French... Good for them! Anyway, while German combats look good - and German - their Service Dress looks awful. Pity, because the Bundeswehr is far more competent than it used to be 20 years ago.

Navy and Marines have much more strict uniform regs than Army.

The shots from the ranges and the first Helicopter shot are from Munster-Nord. The "rescue of Starfighter" is at Fassberg AF, and the second Helicopter shot is around Lüneburg. I was based at Kampftruppenschule 2 in Munster, belonging to PzLehrBrig 9. Munster was then West-Germany's second largest garrison. My duty was to assist the shootings of trainings videos. Not quite the usual fighter job.

Country: | That is not a Sherman. The turret looks like a Sherman 76mm turret, fair do's, but it is not. I suggest an M-26 Pershing. Perhaps even more interesting.

Country: | Ndicki, I'm not a tank expert, but could it be a M-48? The bustle doesn't look right. We gave a lot of those to the Germans post war.

Cast your nose into this page.
Methinks Pershing is the tank, note rough cast turret and the distinctive raised sloped piece in the glacis plate. Something the M48 does not have. Pershing
However the M46 does fit the bill as the changeover between Pershing and Patton.
Go here and search for M26 you will see the changes as each model came out TanxHeaven

The second picture shows a British one, I think. Bit of a surprise there.

Country: | So we all agree it is a tank.
Do we also agree that maintenance has been a bit shabby.
