History

The Light Tank M3 Stuart is the vehicle of Jeb Stuart's tank crew during World War II. The ghost of Stuart's ancestor Confederate general J.E.B. Stuart possessed the tank and aptly became nicknamed as the "Haunted Tank". Throughout the war the tank fought through the North African Campaign to the European Theater of Operations, but not without being damaged and its crew saw through several M3 tanks. When their latest M3 was destroyed, the crew scavenge spare parts and wreckage from a "tank graveyard" to build themselves a new tank, known as the "Jigsaw Tank", which serves them from that point.^[1]

The Jigsaw Tank was soon eventually replaced by an M4 Sherman tank that served its crew through to the end of the war. Despite an incident in which the ghost of General William T. Sherman being assigned to the tank once the crew switched to the Sherman, General Stuart's ghost continues to watch over the crew till the war's end.

2 aqui, Oswaldo

Oswaldo e Jean, vocês não acham que eles não tem nada a ver com o tema do post? Eu tenho muitos outros, como o Brig Rui Moreira Lima 93 missões em P-47, Brig Meira quase isso também em P-47, Brig Ivo Gastaldoni, piloto de patrulha com um submarino não confirmado mas muitos sustos nos UBoot, o Brigadeiro Miranda Correia e tripulação do Catalina mais tarde batizado de "Arará" que afundou um desses ratos do mar, do Sargento Max Wolf Filho apelidado de "Rei da Patrulha" um herói discreto e quase esquecido. Vocês teriam alguma sugestão tipo, militares brasileiros desconhecidos que servem nas missões de paz da ONU, os militares, inclusive uma médica falecidos no incêndio da discoteca Kiss de Santa Maria, isso sem falar no meu falecido pai, soldado fuzileiro de infantaria do Regimento Sampaio Veterano da Itália, e aí vamos colaborar?
