  1. An update on the "missing" tank in the north of holland. They did tests with several ground penetrating radars. They did only find a disturbance in the earth. Later an old man turned up who told that the canadians came to take it away some months later. They first stabalized the narrow road with debris from the airport Eelde. When the road was ready they could get a recovery tank at the position and pulled the sherman out.... so nothing left there...☹️

  2. Yes they were very advanced.....that's what you get if you let journalists write something...i worked at a newpaper for 25 years and i have seen passing enough nonsence...😃.

  3. To ad some to that story on the other side of the house in the edge off the forrest the americans had some piper cubs stationed for the artillery. We did some metal detecting there and found a jeep sidelamp cover and some flattend food tins. 😉

  4. I am not shure but as far as i can remember it was completely rust covered. The strange thing is the nearest British troops were some 10 kms away. Our region was liberated by the Americans. In a field oposite my grand parents house there were some US howitzers stationed for few weeks that shot into germany. The force from the blasts did damage the front door.
