Hi all
If you are interested in the story of two of the people who crewed this particular tank, pictured during the liberation of Eindhoven 18th September 1944, then just follow the link to JJ's.

Having driven fire trucks in parades, I imagine the pucker factor for anyone driving a tank in those crowds must have been "vacuum sealed to the seat". Last thing you'd want is to hit one of the people you're liberating. |

Its an interesting point – how much delay from D-Day was caused by civilians getting over excited? |
