at .40..no HoW tab.
and isnt the date of the vid 1951?
ww 2 to 1951 part one I believe,, Patton was the CG, And they were known as hell on wheels,,, now if your saying they didn't have the HOW tag on their tanks,, maybe so,,, but they where known as Hell on Wheels. They got the moniker in training not long after they got actual tanks. I guess you served in the second? I did not,, just liked the name and history of the unit so you may well know more than me about it,
, my European duty was 8th ID,, more specifically 1/59 ADA 8th ID HHB signal platoon / then S4/ 8th ID Op 4 enemy aircraft simulation group,,in other words,, I flew drones before it was cool to do so!!
Edit. Found this from hell on wheels by Don R. Marsh
The Second Armored Division was given the name "Hell On Wheels" by a Lt. Haynes Dugan from the Public Information Office, then under Major General George S. Patton, when he commanded the division in 1940. Patton was one of several famous generals to lead the division over time, including: MG Charles L. Scott, MG Willis D. Crittenberger, MG Ernest N. Harman, MG High J. Kingman, MG Hugh J. Gaffey and MG Edward H. Brooks. Brooks was our Division Commanding General on my arrival. My favorite 2AD Division Commanding Officer was MG Ernest "Old Gravel Voice" Harmon, whom General Omar Bradley said; "The profane and hot-tempered Ernest N. Harmon brought the corps the rare combination of sound tactical judgment and boldness that together make a great commander. More than any other division commander in North Africa, he was constantly and brilliantly aggressive; in Europe he was to become our most outstanding tank commander." Col. John W. Mountcastle quotes that in the Armor Magazine, March-April 1988. Harmon was in command when the division landed in North Africa. Colonel Maurice Rose was his Chief of Staff - both were temporarily assigned to the 1st Armored Division when it faltered in the North African Campaign and required new leadership.
