PHOTOS: ABERDEEN TANK MUSEUM |

Posted by Jersey Mike on Thu Mar 6 22:07:21 2008 Not all of my photo trips involve railroad or signals :-) Back in August I went with a friend to the United States Army Ordnance Museum located on the grounds of the Aberdeen Proving Grounds. (think Polo Grounds, only more Boom).Aberdeen has a wonderful, mostly outdoor, collection of Armoured fighting vehicle from World War I to the Present Day. Many of them are sole survivors their class or actual unique vehicles. The museum also has a large variety of fixed artillery such as the 11" Atomic Annie Also mixed in are some pics of deer located on the ground of the APG and police horses at the Baltimore Artscape festimal. You can see all the pics at: http://acm.jhu.edu/~sthurmovik/Other/07-07-21_ABERDEEN_TANK_MUSEUM/-Thumbnails.html Of course here is a representative sample of pictures. This is a Jadtiger, the heaviest AFV of World War II at around 70 tonnes. It was built in small numbers by Germany at the end of the war. Its 128mm run was a match for any tank set against it and its armour of 23 or 26cm RHA was proof against any gun.  Here are skip marks from an Allied 75mm shell. Completely ineffective against the Jadtiger's armour.  Here is a Brummbär, an infantry assault cannon on a Panzer IV chassis. It mounted a large 150mm howitzer and had front armour from 8 to 13cm RHA.  Here is a Panther tank. With about 5000 built, this was hands down the best medium tank of WW2. 700hp engine gave it high road speed and its 75mm/L70 gun could punch through most armour. It's frontal armour of 14 and 12cm RHA was better than that of the more famous Tiger tank.  This is the sole surviving T34 M1940 with the older L-11 gun.  Here is America's first real tank of WW2, the Grant Tank. Immediate predecessor to the M4 Sherman, the Grant had its 75mm gun mounted in a sponson for infantry support, with a turret mounted 37mm gun for Anti-tank work.  Any Italians reading this might want to turn away, this is your pathetic contribution to the war effort, the Fiat M13/40. Thin riveted armour, complex running gear and a weak gun, this tank was torn to pieces in the North African desert.  As an example of their modern equipment here is the prototype XM-1 tank.  And an M2/3 Bradly.  And a T-72.  As I said the museum has guns too. Here is an 88mm Flak 41 in front of a twin mount 128mm FlaK 40.  Here is the American equivalent 90mm M3 gun.  As I mentioned before here is Atomic Annie as seen on TV in Upshot-Knothole Grable.  Here is a 280mm Krupp K5 railway gun named Leopold, as made famous during the Anzio landings. (ha, I did include some rail pics after all :-)  AWWWWWWW!!! SO CUTE!!!!  More Cute!!!  |

Posted by RonInBayside on Fri Mar 7 00:28:16 2008, in response to PHOTOS: ABERDEEN TANK MUSEUM, posted by Jersey Mike on Thu Mar 6 22:07:21 2008. Nice pics.The Germans had some interesting mega-guns, two of them named Dora and Thor that were the 200+mm size railroad guns. The Panther was, hands down the best tank of WWII overall, but the T-34 introduced two important concepts - really advanced sloping of armor and extra wide tracks for going over bad muddy or icy ground. The Panther was overly mechanically complicated, so the Germans were always dealing with breakdowns. |

I don't know where you live but I live in Orange and deer are all over here. Sometimes when I get home from the City at 3-4 AM they run right past me from eating one of my neighbors evergreens.My German Shepherd loves to bark and them and tries to chase them but I don't let him, I fear they may give him a swift kick to the head. |

Yeah, his resistors are holding back to much juice to the mainframe.I think it will overheat and burn out some delicate connectors. Either that or Salaam has touched too many third rails. |

No, I have a German Shepherd purebred from Germany, papers included.He's very intelligent and probably has more sense, love for others and selflessness that you ever will have or had in your meaningless existence. What trouble were you in November of 2007 in Los Angeles court? Talk to us, we want to know! |
