I just moved and as part of the 'new' home, I now am enjoying high speed internet connection. I having been checking out the many film / video segments on 'Critical Past' and found a few interesting items......

Mystery Vehicle ID:

Vehicle 1:
At the 00:23 sec mark, there is a vehicle crossing the Pontoon Bridge that looks like a tank destroyer, but the turret is 'weird', perhaps some kind of 3rd Army 'command vehicle' ??

Vehicle 2:
At the 00:59 sec mark, there is another weird looking vehicle, that I can't seem to identify. (Am I crazy or does it look like a 'T34'...??)

As for 'Jumbo' spotting....

On this 24 March 1945 video segment, at the 00:55 sec mark, a 6th Armored Division M4A3E2(76) rolls by.

And this 6 May Video has a 'generic' (unmodified) M4A3E2(75) that rolls by at the 00:23 sec mark. Perhaps a 'newly' issued combat replacement tank of the 'reconstituted' 37th Tank Bn...???

Vehicle 1
M10 with its turret traversed to the rear?




Vehicle 2
M8 HMC

The tank with the turret to the rear is a M36 TD-notice how the turret bustle is rounded vs. the M10's being anglular.

Vehicle 1 looks like an M36 turret.

Yep, I'll go with a Jackson!

The video seems to be somewhat stretched horizontally to me. This makes the M8 in particular look "off".
