Looked up, saw this and tried to be as steady as I could with the A350 and it's 20 year old Minolta 70-210 "Beercan" lense.

Nice. I am there on Sunday, but on a trackday so not sure I would be able to get a peek in the museum. Looking forward to bombing around the tank testing track though.

I'd suggest the Tiger 2 was the best; it took all the Panther's best bits (like the suspension and sloped armour), up-gunned, and eliminated the mantlet shot trap.

And broke down on a daily basis :) so my German great uncle (who commanded a Panzer IV, Tiger 1, STuGIV, Panther and Tiger II) says. His favourite chariot was the Panther, however he got the most kills in a STuG. He has some "wonderful" photo's of his exploits in the cellar bar in the hotel over there. :)

I am now goose stepping to the coffee room shouting "Achtung, for you tommy ze var ist over"

Just the monocle; not the sinister leather trenchcoat? ;)
