Tigers and Panthers and Tanks, Oh My!
Mark gets a scary no-prize from the past for bringing us this video of a restored Panther tank on the move and this video of a restored Tiger doing the same.
It's one thing to see old black-and-white newsreel photos of these things rolling across the steppe, and quite another to see and hear them trundling around a parking lot in full-color video. I can't imagine what it must've been like being 18 and seeing dozens of them coming over the horizon.
I imagine if you were the enemy it would be "sh*t in your pants" scary.

(This was one of those "one percent of the people with eighty percent of the money" guys; his other two collections were pipe organs and railroad cars.)
