Odd-Looking Sherman

Post by PershingLover »

Found this photo on the web, and at first it looked normal.

But then I noticed the turret was oddly small, and that the horse marking looked fake, the direct vision ports with extra armor, and that the registration number starts with 12, not 30.

It gets stranger the longer you look at it..

Simple answer - Museum tank!

(also - no direct vision ports on this one)
