Just finished viewing this DVD....
http://www.amazon.com/Embedded-45-Shoot ... 37?ie=UTF8
I highly recommend this for all WWII buffs. It has loads of actual footage from combat cameramen in the ETO that was stored in the U.S. National Archive vaults until recently. Great stuff, a must have for modelers and historians alike. Below are some stills from the DVD. The first image shows a Pershing tank firing on a German panther parked in the cathedral square of the famous Cologne cathedral. A few minutes prior to this, the Panther had knocked out a Sherman, killing the crew. The second image shows the Panther burning after being hit by the Pershing's 90mm shell, the Panther commander was killed in the tank and the crew was cut down trying to escape the burning vehicle, very dramatic stuff. Click the thumbnails for full size views.

Gen. George S. Patton Jr., 28th Regimental Colonel, 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, U.S. Army, "Blood and Steel"
