From 1942 onwards the Axis were on the defensive, one method of defence was bunkers made from modified Panther turrets with thicker armour. Here we see an entire Panther which has been dug-in for the defence of Berlin. Find out more about the Panther

“Tank Hits a Tramcar, None Hurt in Quebec,” Montreal Gazette. August 5, 1942. Page 19. ---- Quebec, August 4 - (CP) - Here's one for, the traffic accident record book. 

A 32-ton tank collided with a tram car on a Lower Town street yesterday and, believe it or not, no one was injured. The tank heading for parts unknown ripped off one side of the street car in veering to avoid the collision. 

When the dust cleared away, it was found there was an international angle to the accident. The street car was one of those recently purchased from the New York Tramway Company.

M2A1 Medium Tank (right) alongside the T5E1 Medium Tank prototype. The M2 was first produced in 1939, events in Western Europe rapidly demonstrated that the M2 was obsolete, and it was never used overseas in combat; it was, however, used for training purposes throughout the war. The T5E1 led to the M2 through incremental changes, though the VVSS suspension was one of the most important.

People with tanks of fish for "decoration" can never know how beautiful actual fish tanks when fully done could ever look like. "It hides the expensive fish I got. >:((((" NO, it brings out the beauty of your fish. Your super expensive fish that you took time to research to ensure the most beneficial life for them look GORGEOUS when not in danger of a terrible tank nor other fish they wouldn't get along with. They vanish behind plants and you see glimpses of their colourful scales, and when they come out? It's better than seeing them 24/7 in A Void.

Anyway, taking this moment to say I went into a thrift store some weeks ago and there was just a big ass tank in the middle of it. Of course I'm not super well versed in fish, but I think I could spot fish that aren't healthy nor getting along, so I naturally went to it because if your store is going to want to be vibe checked so openly, then kudos. The tank was completely decorated and had mostly cichlids (if any other fish, I think just bottom feeders). It was clean, and I took time to inspect as many as I could and from what I saw, no injuries or illness. I was pretty surprised, but delighted, and I can only hope it was as good as I think it is. I'm so used to only seeing fish in stores for buying, so seeing an actual, complete tank like this was really fun. It was pretty big, as well, but I don't know my tank sizes, so I couldn't tell ya just how big. ^^"

Right! Not to mention, fishes are most comfortable in conditions suitable for them, with the company or lackthereof that they enjoy. Adding hides can even increase the time you see your fish, funnily enough, because it means the fish have more places to seek refuge in and therefore they can afford to explore a bit more knowing there is a safe place right next to them! If someone has the money to buy several expensive fishes, they should also have the money to invest in a large tank with lots of gorgeous and fitting decor. A beautiful aquarium truly does bring out the beauty of fishes even more; a daydream of mine is that if I had the space and the money, I would like a massive, massive blackwater tank with lots of driftwood, vegetation, and healthy, earthy brown water from tannins. I would then stock it with dozens of cardinal or neon tetras, or another iridescent fish. Tetras are usually recommended to be kept in schools of at least six, but in the wild their schools can be massive! A large aquarium would allow for the fish to have schools more like they do in the wild, and I bet that seeing dozens of shiny tetras swimming side by side would be amazing.

As for your friends adrift at the thrift store! I do not think of myself as a pessimistic person, but I must admit that more often than not, I expect aquariums in stores and the like to be rather badly maintained. I'm happy to hear that out there, there is a thrift store with a big tank and healthy fishes! Perhaps the owner(s) like fishes but were worried that being away all day would mean they can't monitor the health and/or enjoy their fishes as much as they like? In any case, happy to hear these news! :)

Matilda II

The Battle of Arras was fought in 1940. The Infantry Tank Mk.II was at the top of the proverbial food chain in 1940, but this engagement proved that it takes more than the thickest armour and the biggest gun to win a tank battle.
