    • At the time the USA was still a "neutral" country which made his escape possible.

      The British made a great movie of it called "The One Who got Away".

                      Most tankers called Hinds "Targets"

                      120mm Sabot at 3000 meters was standard tactic ...kind of ruins the day!!!

                          I can't recall the exact fire commands for tank gunnery...but that in fact is the correct engagement

                          For Bradleys, itwas 25mm sabot within 2200 meters and beyond we were to fire TOW
