Breaking in on this Singapore forum...

If I remeber correct, it was the episode they (the 101 th.) approached Nuenen, The Netherlands.
The English tanker didn't want to listen to the soldiers who warned him for the ambush and got his tank beaten by the Germans.

Well, I don't remember exactly but I'm very sure if it was a German tank you mention it was a Panther tank. This would also be historical correct, because the Germans did use Panthers in Nuenen.
If you want, I can scan a picture of those Panther tanks.
Remarkable was that the Panthers in Nuenen had no registration or markings at all.
There were no Tigers in Nuenen.

Danial, i think I've positively ID-ed that mystery tank...It's an A27M Cromwell Infantry Tank armed w/ a 6 pounder main gun. There's another version called the Centaur, similar looking but w/ a different main gun.

Forgot to add, the easiest way to identify it is that it has big ugly looking 'Rivets' on it's turret...

Tamiya has both Cromwell & Centaur kits. Kit no.35221 & 35232 respectively. but not that easy to find. Tamiya showroom may have.

I especially looked for the scene when Danial brought up the question. I think it's part 3 when they entered the Dutch town of Nuenen
