	Elefant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Porsche AG had manufactured about one hundred hulls for their proposal of the Tiger tank, the 'Porsche Tiger' in the Nibelungenwerke factory in St. Valentin, Austria.
		It was therefore decided that the Porsche hulls were to be used as the basis of a new heavy tank destroyer, mounting the Krupp's newly developed 88 mm Pak 43/2 anti-tank gun.
		All but one of the available Ferdinands were put to use in the Battle of Kursk, the first combat the Ferdinand saw.

	World War I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On June 28, 1914, Gavrilo Princip assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the Austrian throne, in Sarajevo.
		The first tanks were used during the Battle of the Somme on September 15, 1916; mechanical reliability issues hampered their mobility but the experiment proved its worth as protection against enemy weapons, particularly the machine gun.
		Within a year the British were fielding tanks by the hundreds and showed their potential during the Battle of Cambrai in November 1917 by breaking the Hindenburg Line while combined arms teams captured 8000 enemy soldiers and 100 guns.

	BBC - h2g2 - The Influence of Tanks in World War II
		Tank philosophy in France was a bewildering mixture of the obsolete and ultra-modern.
		German tanks were all designed on the three-man turret principle, where a tank gunner looked after aiming and firing; a loader/radio operator reloaded the gun as well as relaying radio messages; and the tank commander was left to concentrate on leading and directing his tank as well as co-ordinating any other units under his command.
		Japanese tank crews appeared to have no conception of even the most basic tactical considerations:- it was as if the only manoevre they had been trained to do was to attack on sight, even if it meant a headlong rush by a single tank against two or three enemy tanks supported by field guns.

	Articles - World War I
		Tanks were introduced in World War I by the British and created mechanized warfare that dominated the rest of the 20th century.
		The first use of tanks was during the Battle of the Somme on 15 September 1916.
		Their first use proved tanks needed infantry support and massed formations, but within a year the British were fielding tanks by the hundreds and showed their potential during the Battle of Cambrai, in November 1917, breaking the Hindenburg Line while capturing 8000 enemy and 100 artillery guns.

	Dragon 60123 - Diecast Model Ferdinand Tank 3./sPzJgAbt 653, Poland, 1944: The Flying Mule
		The mighty tank hunter was armed with an 8.8cm PaK 43/2 gun, and was painted in a camouflage scheme of bold ‘squiggles’ of colour.
		It was first deployed during the Battle of Kursk and, though destroying 320 Russian tanks, performed very poorly in other respects: many units broke down and they proved dangerously vulnerable to infantry, lacking a machine gun.
		Made from diecast metal and plastic components, the die cast tanks in the Dragon Armour series are 100% true to scale...

		Actually, 91 Ferdinands were produced, of which two were kept for testing when the remaining 89 were engaged at Kursk...
		Here's what happened to the suviving Ferdinands after Kursk.A total of 48 on the whole, were modernized, renamed Elefants and grouped in the schwere Heeres Panzerjager Abteilung 653 of which a part was transferred in Italy in February of 1944.
		During the Battle of Kursk a majority of Ferdinands were lost to close infantry assaults or the "animal killers" the ISU-122 or the ISU-152.

		Armour wise the Challenger II is the most heavily armoured tank in the world — but it takes a speed hit and is 10-20km slower than the Abrams.
		The Challenger also has the best gun in the tank world and as the recent gulf war showed is capable of penetrating extremely heavy armour (well it was pretty close by, on the other hand is was a heavily armoured British tank :)).
		The rifled main tank gun is much more accurate at far and extreme ranges due to the spin of the projectile.

		Many tanks were lost in the first hour of the battle to land mines, only then to be hit by the massed Soviet guns.
		Many of these tanks were repairable and had to be left on the field to be captured by the Soviets because of a lack of armoured recovery vehicles

		Tank destroyer Hetzer was based on the Czech tank LT-38 chassis and was supposed to replace towed anti-tank guns used by Wermacht units.
		Basing on Blitzkrieg tank battle experience American planners decided a new medium tank to be armed with a gun which let it fight versus German tanks as equal.

	PzKpfw VI Tiger II - Page 2
		The estimated accuracy is given as the probability (in percentage) of hitting a target 2m high and 2.5m wide, representing the target presented by the front of an opposing tank.
		Of the total ammunition load of 86 rounds (80 for the Tiger II with 'Porsche' turrets), the recommended ratio was 50% Pzgr.39/43 (armor piercing, capped, ballistic capped with explosive filler and tracer) and 50% Sprgr.
		As previously experienced in the West with Allied tanks, it was often observed that the Russian tanks declined to fight Tigers or turned and fled after their first tank was knocked out.

		Froude built himself a towing tank on his own property and in part with his own funds, for the operation of which he had formulated a similarity law for flows under the influence of gravity.
		This law has come to be known under Froude's name, although it had actually been announced at least 20 years earlier by Ferdinand Reech (1805 80) [41], an Alsatian teaching in a naval college at Paris.
		But Froude was the first to note the development along the hull of ships [42] of what came to be known as the boundary layer, a phenomenon of viscous shear which eventually was shown to be a function of the Reynolds number.

	The FReeper Foxhole's TreadHead Tuesday - M4 Sherman Medium Tank - Feb 24th, 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The crews of M4 tanks were vulnerable to the superior penetrating fire of German tank guns, and were themselves hardly able to scratch the heavier armor of their German counterparts.
		On tanks with dry ammunition stowage, one-inch thick applique armor was welded over the sponson ammunition racks and to the turret on the right of the gun mount where interior armor had been ground away to make room for the gunner's controls.
		The Shermans equaled or outmatched those tanks when they met in North Africa but they were not up to the task of fighting duels with the subsequent Panzers and Tigers, especially when the latter were employed in defense, as mobile pillboxes.

		At Kursk it was part of 656 sPzJagRegt, supported by attached Brummbaers, and later it was split between the Eastern and Italian fronts.
		The text is very useful giving a clear picture of the battalion's service with the aid of excerpts from soldiers' diaries, and 32 pages of colour plates illustrate its StuG Ills, Ferdinands, Elefants, Brummbaers and Jagdtigers together with supporting vehicles and, most importantly, with full layouts of the unit's regimental, battery and company unit signs.
		The StuGs, Ferdinands, Brummbaers and Jadtigers are here in full measure, and so are those unusual vehicles that you've heard about, like the Porsche Tiger I command vehicle, the Bergepanther with a PzKpfw IV turret, and the T-34 with a quad 2cm FlaK mounted in place of its turret.

		Aligned with two divisions to the front and one in reserve and backed up by a wide variety of supplemental units including the 1st Tank Army to the rear, the Soviets present a formidable force designed to meet a variety of contingencies posed by the German Fourth Panzer Army.
		With limited tank support, these troops are quickly pinned down in the swampy, mine-infested terrain.
		With little armored flank protection, several Panthers are disabled or destroyed by flanking Soviet antitank fire while several more vehicles are jolted to a fiery stop when land mines detonate under their tracks.
