Great article! Enjoyed reading every bit.
Few years ago me and my mates went to check the battle of the bulge surroundings, a roadtrip to germany/belgium (mostly because we're WW2 enthusiasts, and inspired by COH1 BotB mod). Visited La Gleize and gave hug to the King! It's size is really impressing! Even if there was a pile of metal scrap of similar size, that would be an impressing pile, but a tank! Standing next to it, my head wouldn't even reach to the top of the hull! Trust me, it looks smaller in a picture.
If you look closely, you can see a few dents on the glacis plate, it has two hits from a tank or AT gun and both bounced off.
Again, thanks for the post, it's great!
