Having some pie

Is that Karelian or cabbage pie? AH's main course included asparagus soup and vegetable pudding. Yum

@Redbadd I have more pictures of that tank

Four Churchills of 4th Battalion, The Coldstream Guards in 6th Guards Tank Brigade move towards Geysteren late in November 1944. The fifth tank in the line is their tame Panther 'Cuckoo' which was allocated to regimental headquarters

'Cuckoo' again. Firing at German troops occupying Geijstreie Castle. The Coldstreams were well impressed by the quality of the sights on the German tank and the accuracy of its 75mm gun when compared to their own equipment. The large, white star in a circle was more important than ever on a tank that was more likely to be identified as hostile.

Strictly not on-topic, but a fun find nontheless I think. I'm rewatching the series Lost and I stumbled upon this shot of what is supposed to resemble an Iraqi army base:


Those are 3D models (dimensions are wrong though) of an Elefant tank destroyer (and what appears to be the front of an M3 Half Track behind the building on the right). No idea why they picked a German WWII TD instead of Soviet tanks when they were going to CGI them anyway. Thought it was fun to share.

Lol that’s good. They prob bought it as a free to use model and just typed like “big tank” into the search engine. It’s a one-off shot and I’ve never seen lost but I doubt they had military advisors on the payroll.

You could prob get some fake internet points by posting it to a subreddit about details in tv or history lol
