Well said about the Elephants. There were quite nice weapons! And most of them were lost because of the mines and mechanical trouble. That's true.

I am amazed of how much interesting info you have all provided.

And Kai, nice sites and pics!

By the way, I can translate those sites in Spanish if anybody would like to!
