Jacques Littlefield, tank collector, dies
« on: February 21, 2009, 06:29:00 PM »
I just ran across this news story, completely missed his passing. For those not in the know, Jacques collected tanks - lots of them - and restored them to operational order. His greatest achievement was the recovery and restoration of the only working Panther V pulled from a river in Poland where it had been submerged for decades. He was often featured on the Military Channel whenever they dealt with tanks or SPGs/SPHs. His recovery of the Panther was documented in one of their shows as well.

Saw the shows on the Military channel. Sad to hear of anyone passing, especially anyone as passionate about a particular area.
