"That was what things looked like when Tim Palmer lost his fourth tank. He was fired at from a range at which even the Panzer III’s 50 mm shells arrived in a fairly spent state. But the fire from this enemy Panzer was hellishly accurate. Palmer stood in the turret with his radio operator and watched the Panzers approaching, stopping, firing, when a projectile penetrated the wall of the turret with a metallic clang and lodged there. The radio operator dropped down into the vehicle out of sheer fright. The next round pierced the portal armor and also stuck fast just in front of the poor fellow. This so horrified the driver that he jumped out and ran mindlessly into the desert. A third hit jammed the gun." - from the CMAK Companion, Chapter 30, "The Point of Pain" |
