World War II

TANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

I JUST READ THE ARTICLE “Hitler’s Monster Tanks,” in your August 2018 issue. A great story, and it solved a few mysteries for me!

While serving in the Canadian 27th Armoured Regiment (known as the Sherbrooke Fusiliers), my father, J. Franklin Chapman, was in Essen, Germany, at the end of the war. He and his regiment toured the Krupp factory and took a few photos.

The Maus hull in your photos matches the one in my father’s photo (above). I always suspected it was a Maus, but now it is confirmed.

ONTARIO, CAN.

I am a relative newcomer to your magazine, and I just picked up the August 2018 issue with the “Hitler’s Monster Tanks” story. Fantastic! I have known about these aptly named monsters for a couple of years, but this is the best feature I’ve seen on them yet. Bravo!
