I remember climbing on that tank as a kid in Vilseck, it was just a short walk from where my dad's office was.
If i'd only known the history then... I was too busy trying to find a way inside to poke around
Just think about having collected THAT data plate,....!!
Growing up overseas, I always was interested in locating data plates. I actually 'liberated' a few, but those were from display vehicles during 'open house' displays. As I remember there were a couple US M60's, a French AMX 30, German Leo 1, and A British Chieftain(?) Never did 'score' any old vehicles.
In case anyone was in Kaiserslautern in 1973-76, during any of the 'GAFF' (German, American, French Friendship) Week celebrations....I was 'THAT KID' who would collect berets of unsuspecting crew members. (The statute of limitations has expired so I can live without guilt on that.... )
