So how did you guys like the new Tank Overhaul episode about the Ferdinand/Elephant tank destroyer last night? All in all I thought it was pretty good except for the part about the Paladin SPG. I wanted to see more about the shows subject and less about modern stuff that doesn't really relate to the topic at hand. A tank destroyer and a self propelled howitzer are NOT the same thing!

i love the tank overhaul series but i guess it'll be a while before it is shown on the discovery channel over here in the U.K.

I wish they would go a little deeper into getting parts remade, such as the Panther turret. It is still an interesting series and I hope it continues for a while.
You can buy episodes on ITunes if you cannot watch it.

I saw it and i wanted to weep,how can they call it an overhaul when they ONLY did the outside.As one of only two in existance it deserved better than that,if the US Army do`nt want to go the whole nine yards why do`nt they give it to a proper museum (i`m sure Bovington would give their right arm to have it )so that it can be preserved both inside and out for future generations to marvel at.
