What's the most perverted thing ever said on TV?

"Ward...don't you think you're being a bit hard on the Beaver?"

Here are two more photos of Eugene Sledge, taken in his home town Mobile. The first is with Sidney Phillips, when Phillips was home on leave. This was before Eugene graduated from high school. My father was a friend of them both as they all went to Murphy High. Phillips graduated in 1941, Sledge in 1942 and Dad in 1943.

Second photo is of Sledge in a Confederate uniform, taken much earlier.

They all had a lot of fun together as kids. When they all got back home, the fun was over.

Picture illustrating the rapid advancement of anti-tank guns in World War II.

On the right is the German 3.7 cm. Panzerabwehrkanone (Pak) 36. First introduced in 1936, this was the standard towed anti-tank gun for the Wehrmacht at the start of WWII.

To its left, is the 8.8 Cm. Panzerjägerkanone (Pak) 43. First introduced in 1943, it served the Wehrmacht to the end of WWII.

The Pak 43 weighed an astronomical 8,000 lbs, compared to 720 lbs for the Pak 36. And while the Pak 36 fired a 1.5 lbs. tungsten core projectile at a muzzle velocity of 2,500 ft/s that could penetrate 22mm of armor plate at 1,000 meters, the Pak 43 fired a 22.9 lbs tungsten core projectile at a muzzle velocity of 3,400 ft/s that could penetrate 165mm of armor plate at 1,000 meters.

Disclaimer: The 8.8 cm gun was itself not new in 1943. It actually dated as far back as the turn of the century when a 8.8 cm was used as secondary deck guns on German naval ships. During WWI, the 8.8 Cm Flak 16 was introduced in 1916.



However, the 8.8 cm that is known for its use in WWII was first developed in the early 1930s as a high altitude anti-aircraft gun. At the start of WWII, the 8.8 cm Flak 36 was primarily used by Luftwaffe and Heer anti-aircraft units.



But, as the Germans began to realize the ineffectiveness of the 3.7 cm Pak 36 as early as the French Campaign of 1940, they quickly realized the devastating effect of the 8.8 cm Flak 36.

Calamity Jane was a frequent visitor to the mining town of Gilt Edge, Montana. In this photo, Jane is drinking a beer with cowboy Teddy Blue Abbott - the two had exchanged hats for the photo. It was said that Abbott came to town to repay 50 cents he borrowed from Jane in 1883.
