In January 1945, the only US Army M26 Pershing Tank lost during the war was destroyed near Colonne, Germany. The M26 was penatrated by an 88 mm anti-tank round from a German Nashorn Tank Destroyer. I have seen a photo of the detroyed M26 using Google search engine. Can you find that photo and /or the web site? |

Dear victor61, The only M26 Pershing that became a total loss in the European theater of war was actually destroyed by a Nashorn Panzerjäger on 6 March 1945 in Niehl, north of Cologne. An January date is impossible, since the Allied troops were not yet anywhere near Cologne in January 1945. See a photo of the destroyed M26 here: http://www.3ad.com/history/wwll/article.pages/pershing.ko.2a.htm Read a detailed account of the destruction here: http://www.3ad.com/history/wwll/article.pages/pershing.ko.2a.htm Source of the links above: 3rd Armored Division History Website http://3ad.com/ Regards, Scriptor |
