    Sorry, I don't have the episode. The one with the paratroopers moving into the small Dutch town and being supported by a few British tanks. One of the paras goes and talks to the British tanker officer, tells him there is a German tank RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER and he should blow the hell out of the building to flush it. Anyhow, there is a Sherman in front of the column, but behind it is a distinctly British tank. I have to admit having a real weakness in identifying British tanks from WW2. Can someone give me a hand ID'ing it as well as a link, maybe, to where I can learn more about it? Thank you.

    Also, if you're at all into modeling, check out my thread in the modeling forum.

    I wouldn't bet my life on it, but I think it was a British Cromwell Tank. The Cromwell had several variants.
