Tanks in France
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

New website with walkarounds of some tanks (sherman, tiger I, TD M10) exposed in France, as monuments for the moment. It will be updated as far as I get new photos : Tanks in France P-O _________________ soldat_ryan @ hotmail.com Looking for photos of Sherman manufacturer's plates

An Aberdeen Page would be cool. I do have several more photos I could send to you. You might also check with Neil and some of the others that frequent there, as I do not have photos of everything. cn

Y'all are just gonna force me to get serious & roll out my long-planned "Tank Arsenal" website... Maybe I'll see if I can work on it during the holidays. Right now I'm swamped with two grad school term papers... Neil

Chris, send me what you want me to publish. It doesn't matter for me, as I have enough room to publish a lot of photos. Neil, I also have exams, and instead of studying, what I'm supposed to do.. I fritter away my time doing that sort of things. that's a question of priorities. P-O _________________ soldat_ryan @ hotmail.com Looking for photos of Sherman manufacturer's plates

"To Claude Beaufils (or in memory of Claude Beaufils), the combattants of [can't read]

In this place, Claude Beaufils, RenÃƒÂ© Garnier, RenÃƒÂ© Cardot, of the tank Porc-Epic are dead for France on January 26, 1945"
