Topic: The Tiger Tank from Saving Private Ryan will be in the Chicago area this weekend.

The most important thing they will have in my opinion is the "beer bunker." I will have to investigate that closely.

You meant, of course, a T-34. Probably a T34-85. Simple typo I'm sure...
EDIT: Here is the Reenactors' page for those who want to see more of it. There may be a T-55 conversion somewhere in the UK though.
Wit Ye further, or how...?

Too many square corners, too heavy, a bit like a moving blockhouse. Many of the late model Panzer IV's were much more attractive. But my personal favorite was always the Panther (Panzer V). Side armor was a little weak, but it was fast and had nice lines, even when covered with anti-magnetic paste.

It just looked like a massive chunk of dangerous metal.
