King Tiger w/ Taigen grills

[michaelwhittmann]

Pricey but a nice addition.

[Herr Dr. Professor]

Yes, worth it! Those look great. (Now Bix, of course, would want to bang them up. I, of course, would be able to bang them up without even trying. )

MW, The grills really finish that back deck off. Is that a Heng Long T2?

[michaelwhittmann]

Yes.

It's one of the 5 tanks in the 1st New Jersey Tank Squadron. All Heng Long.

Sherman
KT
Tachpanzer
T1
Panther

[Herr Dr. Professor]

Oops, just a little help: it's TaUchpanzer. OK, OK: I've been retired over a decade, but I still gotta be a cranky old Prof. OK OK: I must nonetheless still be a pedantic elderly professor.

Important correction.

In Sept., I'm in Germany for 11 days.

I might need to know the word for dive or immerse.

[Herr Dr. Professor]

As you likely know, many Germans are fluent in English. I was in Germany only once, over 50 years ago, and even then the people would hardly let me practice German as they wanted to practice English. We even had some conversations in which I, the then rather young American, spoke (clumsy) German and the Germans (of all ages) spoke rather good English.

to dive in water: tauchen or springen

to immerse: eintauchen

No unterwasser panzer huh?

[Herr Dr. Professor]

Frankly, MrChef and michaelwittman, I always though the idea for Seelöwe was downright hilarious. Imagine:

Achtung: at 0500 you are going to drive off the ship and underwater to the coast of Scotland!

Where they would meet a bunch of kilt wearing, mealy pudding throwing, whisky drinking, blue faced jocks, lead by my Granny.
