Always been one of my "Fave's". Best "Tank Destroyer of the war hands down. My Uncle rode a M-36 in the 10th Armored Division, hence my love of tanks. First in the relief of Bastonge, one of Pattons boys.
He hated his job, and was scared ****less most of the time. Him and my old man used to exchange war stories who was 9th Army Air Force (Mustangs). He fixed radios and set up communications, not a pilot. Definately in a position to eavesdrop on all conversations by radio.
My old man used to berate my uncle by telling him he never fought any tanks, he just called in air support.
My uncle said they didn't want to see any allied aircraft either, because they didn't look for markings or care who they dropped their bombs/rockets on!
It was fun listening to them. He gave me a neat K-98 which I still have.
