Sorry that the voice over wasn’t that great, I was a little sick and had to rush the video

[@guyfawkesuThe1]

Ya use a computer voice next time or maybe in the future.

[@rrl4245]

Just stick with 'Fort Benning'. Hundreds of thousands of us know it by that name.

[@brooksroth345]

I've actually seen this vehicle, and climbed on it, when it was at Aberdeen proving grounds in Maryland. I found a photo of it taken in 1945 when it was surrendered. The unique shell damage was unmistakable. It should be restored.

Thanks for sharing this video.

That's a beast of an armoured vehicle..Ive climbed all over it while it was on display at Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Aberdeen, Maryland..My father worked on base and I was always at the museum there..Inside and out,lol...

Cool. Nice picks and details.

Excellent video Jack. Nicely done.

331 took 4 frontal hits 323 took on at least 6 front hits , 331 may have been abandon due to running out of ammo after pummeling the US army 1 final round to jam the gun back in recoil position

[@KJ4RMZ]

Just to provide accurate account. 331 was abandoned after a mobility kill to the port side final drive. At that time the TC gave the order to "spike" the gun and to abandon it and escape. The round to the mantlet did not jam it back. This was done by draining the hydraulic recoil system and firing a round thus locking the gun back in full recoil and locking the breech open. If you are able to join us at the next open house event I'll be happy to show you the hit that stopped it as, I am the volunteer usually at this vehicle and can be briefly seen at the beginning of this video.

Sad thing is that the elephant was given to the Bovington Tank Museum. good luck getting that back!

[@blackstealth8168]

I just hope they don't cut this one up for training purposes like the other tanks at fort benning. Training purposes or not these tanks need to be on display for the public. Id gladly pay to see them.

[@jackshobbystation1867]

They won’t, there just using m48s and maybe some m47s

[@SomeRandomHuman717]

On those tanks that have had sections removed, that happened a loooong time ago, perhaps during WW2 or shortly thereafter. I don't think there's much risk of that happening again.

Does anyone know if the 317th Engr Bn is there - it got moved from Camp Eschborn GE to a base in GA.. thanks 🙏

[@jamesbednar8625]

I was in the 317th Engineer Battalion at Camp Eschborn, West Germany from 1981-1983. Was my 1st duty station. Worked in the battalion S-2 as a vehicle driver/Map Custodian. We wore the old olive colored "pickle" suits back then just before BDUs came out. Our battle positions were up in the Fulda Gap area.

Hello, is it going to be restored back to running order ?

[@jackshobbystation1867]

I do not know but most likely not as it’s a very heavy tank with a bad engine and transmission

[@TVRHXM]

It can be done ​@@jackshobbystation1867

[@garygentzel7924]

Why was Benning dropped?

[@Foxbody429]

Something to do with it being named after a confederate general I think.

As an outsider its weird to see people want bases named after enemy generals. And the new name is after a WW2, korea and vietnam veteran. Why not change it?
