Is there an English version of this petition?

Not yet, I'll work on this.

Secondly, are you inferring that the tank could actually be brought BACK to Overloon, presumably if a replacement could be found, or is this simply an exercise in showing Overloon one's displeasure?

Indeed, I think Cookie should be brought back to Overloon! There are many surviving Sherman tanks in Italy - see the FERREA MOLE website - many of which are government property and neglected. Any of these could be properly repainted and set up at the Ortona memorial. See below for an M4A4 which would be much more suitable than an incorrrect M4.

How can we get those involved in the Ortona memorial to revert their actions?
