  RIP Capt Douglas Norton RA died on 15/05/1944, 14 anti tank regiment, &nbsp;and is buried at Monte Cassino cemetery. Fought for King and country as British subject ….but his sisters would lose their nationality later due tovacts of parliament. As would he if he &nbsp;have lived. &nbsp;His brother, a paratrooper officer died in the Tunisian campaign. Both Not forgotten by their Portuguese and British family

  I have a theory that Belton Cooper had little to do with the final product that was ‘Deathtraps’. &nbsp;His Editor was a maker of Board Game rule books named Michael Bennighof.<br><br>Bennighof has a blog that promotes his company where he writes about History and how his game manuals reflect his understanding of history. &nbsp;He signs off on all his posts with: &nbsp;Michael Bennighof, PhD and ‘NASA Journalist in Space Finalist’. &nbsp;<br>There’s a problem. &nbsp;There are lists on the internet with the names on this list. &nbsp;His ain’t there.<br><br>I could go on for hours about the reality of Cooper/Bennighof’s work. &nbsp;In a nutshell- a lot of that shit is so fabulous that hard core combat veterans would be hard pressed to top it.<br>It reads like Forrest Gump-Cooper always seemed to be at the center of events.

  Was it a Tiger or Just over excited Tank rookies spotting a Panzer IV ?

  I wonder if the use of the Tiger tank as a fire brigade tank increased it&apos;s mythology because it was a tough nut to crack (when working) but often Tigers weren&apos;t necessarily in the same sector long enough for the opposing units to really develop the skill level to feel comfortable on how to deal with a Tiger effectively and efficiently. That and the Tiger being on the defensive probably gave it the advantage of being able to see its target first which a lot of the time is a deciding factor in tank combat.

  The post war German tank mythos that impacted nato nations might be largely attributed to the son of Hans Guderians son, Heinz who was the Inspector General of Panzer troops in the German Bundeswehr in Nato. His conferences had to be quite interesting to say the least.

  I really enjoyed Peters presentation extremely informative, thank you Peter and Woody. I always think the Germans over engineered their equipment. Great to be back after a vacation, loads of shows to catch up. Bring Peter back if you can

  Hi from New Zealand, my dad said they used to fire smoke at the tigers it made then retreat as the smoke overwhelmed their extractor fans in the turret
