M1's don't float
A little action photo from 1988 3rd ID 3-63 Armor. Good thing he had the driver's hatch closed. We were in formation at night and the entire platoon got stuck in formation. This guy found a bomb crater.
That is not the standard muzzle plug.

Yes, the could not recover until AM. If I remember we had to strap 2 tanks together for that one. No M88 was getting that one out.
We were up against a platoon of Leopard 1's in the woodline. Miles gear going off all night. That was the only time we got whipped by the Leo 1's.

Hey, I was with the 3rd Herd also, at Ray Barracks with the 54th FSB. Did my battalion time in 8th ID though at Mannheim.

We were not using scouts because our LT. was showing off the M1. Turned into a turkey shoot for the Germans.
I did get to drive the Leopard later that week. Kind of similar to M60 but more fwd speeds.
We were in Wilflecken if I remember correctly. Cleaning these things was great fun, sometimes an all day event.
