That is a SU-152, I don't know where

 

Well done...thought you'd enjoy a tank ref

Your go Shooter

 

I did!

Where is this

 

Ok, those look like American troops in the sand.... still learning my tanks..... I wanna say either Normandy or Sicily??

 

Not Normandy but elsewhere in France...

 

Scratch that, it is technically in Normandy but it is not D-Day

 

St. Tropez?

 

Nope, the troops are actually Canadian

 

Throw me a life saver Jon! I'm rippin my hair out on this one.

 

It was a raid in Aug 1942 which was huge tactical failure. However, information learned from the raid was used to help Torch and Overlord run smoother.

 

ah hah....... very good Jag. Yeah that picture looks pretty tragic. Your still up! I just took my vitamins, so hopefully that helps
