Hello, I have a question regarding the "RECORDED SHERMAN FAMILY" from Hanno Spoelstra. http://www.geocities.com/shermanregister/bytype.html?20082 He mentions...
Russ (&Kurt & Claude), Thanks, I'll check! Thanks, Hanno ... to figure out which number on the end is missing and then we can cross reference the part. Thanks...
Hi Pierre-Olivier, First of all, thanks for searching for all those surviving Shermans and putting them on-line. It's a great part of the hobby I (sadly)...

Hi, I'm after some help please. I understand that it can be almost impossible to trace the history of a tank but I'd like to try and find out whatever I can. ...
Hi Alistair: Based on rather scant data, it looks like the numbers would be S/N 1844/USA 30120372 and S/N 2597/ USA 30121125. Joe DeMarco may have some newer...
Thank you KL. How do I contact Joe DeMarco? Regards, Alistair. Kurt Laughlin <fleeta@...> wrote: Hi Alistair: Based on rather scant data, it looks like...
Alistair, I've spent years looking for Sherman contracts with very limited success. However, at the US Archives, even though it wasn't Sherman related, I was...
Joseph / Kurt, Many thanks for you help. Both of our Chaffee's can be seen in the film "Paris is Burning". One was disguised a German tank and had a Molotov...
Just to clarify, the film's name was "Is Paris Burning?" based on the best-selling book of the same name. Someone should excise the M24 footage from that movie...

All, I have posted a new Continental engine on EBay. It fits the M44, M41, M42, and M75 vehicles. See the details at this item listing 150215600469. John John...
Ray, There are other socially redeeming features of that movie - multiple Shermans, M8s, halftracks, and WW2 trucks. The French Army must have hauled out a...
Hi Gary, Agreed, my point was the movie overall was a bore, at least for me, and a few minutes here and there of vehicles and other equipment doesn't make it ...
This discussion about "Is Paris Burning" and "The Train" got me to thinking about a surprising movie. "Decision Before Dawn" (1951) was made in postwar ...
Yes, saw that movie many years ago. Also read the book. Another movie I enjoyed was "Stalingrad", the 1993 German production (also available from Netflix). The...
Equipment in movies - to tie in this thread with the theme of this Yahoo Group - it's hard to beat "The Tanks Are Coming" from 1951. Really lousy story and...
Gotta agree with Gary, "The Tanks Are Coming" is very nice if you want to see some Shermans up close. Even the M46 doesn't look bad either. I picked up a...
Good news about Sherman nr 4 from the Brasschaat range http://users.telenet.be/M7.Priest/Brasschaat.htm This Sherman has been restored and is now on its new...
yes, that's indeed great news. I've seen the page with the wrecks at the Brasschaat range and was afraid that the vehicles removed in 2007 were scrapped....
Hello there, I published the PDF file listing the surviving Sherman Crabs, DDs and BARVs some weeks ago but didn't think to release the link on this board...
One thing I haven't been sure of. The M3 was a hastily-designed interim model meant to be a stopgap until the Sherman was ready, but had many elements in...
Fundamentally a late M3 hull, a Ram hull and an early Sherman M4/M4A1 hull are almost identical. They all use the same engine, all have the same suspension,...
I've added a new photo album featuring the M4A4 "HUN CHASER". There were earlier posts about what "HUN CHASER" was doing in St. Lo and what was its function....
Joe If your out there I have tried sending an e mail to you and it keeps bouncing back. Has your address changed ? Please reply off list please with current...
