Message: [QUOTE="Bezzz, post: 3177675, member: 99"] Somewhat OT. One of my fraternity brothers wrote: "As the battle for Normandy progressed slowly in the first weeks, my father (shown on the right in the photo, next to my godfather, Lt. General Ted Brooks, and Generals Eisenhower and Bradley) was given the assignment to find the weakness of the new Panzer tanks that had been encountered which were almost impervious to US weapons including the Sherman. Using a captured Panzer, he had a Sherman tank fire at the Panzer from different sides. Ultimately, it was found that the only weak point was in the rear of the Panzer. Upon reporting the findings to Eisenhower, Ike's response was: "Well this is a helluva time to find that out". Judging by Ike's expression, he had just gotten the word." So I'm two steps removed from Ike Eisenhower. [ATTACH type="full"]43738[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
