[QUOTE=Frantz70;11825768]No movies made glorifying a Nazi, and I do like WW2 German armor.

Should be about a real American hero, S.Sgt. Lafayette Pool.

Do us all a favour, have you read what Pool was allegedly supposed to have achieved talk about straight out of Hollywood in fact it so blatantly exaggerated even Hollywood wouldn’t touch the story
258 kills, yeh right
In Europe June to September, 83 days not all in combat
21 combat engagements = 12.28 kills per engagement
1000 men killed = that’s almost 4 men per kill, pool is the only commander to count the dead I wonder why
Even Kurt Kinspel and Otto Carious didn’t manage this score between them in 4 years of war in Tiger tanks what’s more it’s claimed that the Germans exaggerated there kills, Pool’s actual tank kills was 12 confirmed hardly enough to put him on the list of Aces let alone the title Ace of Aces, it’s well known that the highest Allied kills went to a Canadian though I can’t remember who.
