My newest fillum and the first of the Liberations (yes plural!) series!
During Liberation column I got to see a whole parade of very rare Shermans waking up and getting ready for their first day of convoy at Bastogne Barracks. Pure Sherman Tank porn! 😍
Enjoy!

Thanks for the "porn"
They seem to have bit of a morning "cough", maybe caused by "smoking" ..

The engines are basically burning oil and fuel that wasn't used hence so much smoke on start up, they do eventually calm down.

Great footage, tanks for sharing. Yikes! I thought the Sherman was going to throw a track at the 3:48 mark, but it looks like they managed to keep it together.
