Struck by a 76mm paint round from a pseudo 90mm . . . ?
As Charlie wrote, it was painted camo pink on request for a corporate advertising rental.

So the pink elephants could hide beside it?

Have you ever seen a pink elephant hiding beside a camo pink coloured Sherman?
No, I did not think so.

It's not often that I feel I can add to the collective pile of knowledge here - itis somewhat life affirming.

My understanding is that you would have to have seen a B - very B - movie.

Don't blame me if it's 1 hour, 23 minutes, and 18 seconds that you can't get back in your life.

I don't know if I'm doing any of you ( even the current owners ) any favours.

I may even lose a few of the friends that I have here....

Default Pink striped Sherman

It's true. I watched the film Charlie posted and the Sherman was striped in pink.

Unbelievable... almost incredible.

Some of the girls looked great in their youth.

Wonder what they look like today ? The Sherman sure looks great.

Thank you Charlie. To retain a little dignity you can drag the red line at the bottom of the video to 1.04 hr. & the scene with the pink Sherman starts very shortly.
