You aren't too far from one of those. There is a Tiger at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Maryland, on display. It was one that a former commander of mine recovered from North Africa. It had evidently run out of fuel and was captured. So it was brought to the US intact.Quote:

Besides rain, I would prefer one of these: http://www.waffenhq.de/panzer/tiger_25.JPG. Come in handy, while doing my sunday stroll through town. :rolleyes:
:D /me takes trip to Aberdeen.... I've been down there, not in the proving grounds, seen some cool stuff out there. Soldiers parachuting from helicopters, etc, etc.....pretty cool stuff. Have you seen the tiger? I never seen one, is it huge? Sorry, like history :)Quote:

I believe the Tigers were bigger than our Sherman tanks but the Panzers were way bigger and stronger. The China Beach base near Death Valley in California is cool too. I too like history.
