RE: - SHERMAN ONLY PICTURE THREAD !
Captured German Sherman, upgunned with P4 Lang, German tool arrangement, Sov tow hooks and storage box, up armoured with T34 scrap. Lowered apple, emitter in tube over main gun, Type 1 TU's with steel gears and ETO reinforcement and geardown, bearings in wheels and idlers, metal tracks. Yeah, I know it ain't correct for Sov, but close enough for here.

"FLAT FOOT FLOOGIE" M4A3E8
Flat Foot Floogie from the 41st tank battalion of the 11th Armored Division, Germany 1945. This has white stars for the hull with red stripes painted on one of the stars points, and Flat Foot Floogie in white paint for the hull side. The red stripes were tactical markings in the 11th Armored and indicated which battalion the tank belonged to.
There has always been some confusion about the name of this tank whether it was Floogie or Floosie. It’s named after a song; Flat Foot Floogie which was a Swing standard at the time. Floogie is pronounced with a soft G and online dictionaries give it the same meaning as Floozie (You look it up!) and in the photos it looks like a g and not an s.
