  • In the closing chapters of the war the German fortress city of Cologne needed to be taken. Ordered to get to the Rhine, Eagle 7 a brand new Pershing tank, went up against the might of the German Panther. Adam Makos wrote the excellent book Spearhead which details the war from the view of the crew of Eagle 7, and it's gunner, Clarence Smoyer.

      The Pershing's numbers were on the front and rear facing exactly 90-degrees away from the Panther's field of viewr. The Pershing's army stars were turned exactly 90 degrees away from the Panther's field of view. The Pershing was also a rare sight on the battlefield and most German tank commanders likely thought they were another German tank model.

    Clarence lives 15 minutes from me in Allentown PA and always went to the ww2 weekend at the Mid-Atlantic air museum every year like I did. When I learned that he goes to the airshow I talked to one of the tankers there and asked where he was because I was a huge fan of him. It was sad because he told me he hadn't seen him this year which was odd because he's usually everywhere. We later learned that he fell ill and would pass away a few months later. I never got the chance to meet him in this life but I can wait 60-70 more years to meet him in the next one. What a hidden gem he was.

    The German crew could have evacuated the city or moved to a better spot to defend, but the Panther commander later said that the cathedral where his tank made the last stand was culturally important and he could not give it up without a fight.

      It’s refreshing to hear a Russian say this. More often Russians say the Western Allies waited too long, and didn’t contribute much. And did it for selfish reasons, etc. The West contributed what they could. Yes I know the Soviets made the largest sacrifice by far, but the West contributed and earned a mention.
      Приятно слышать это от россиянина. Россияне чаще говорят, что западные союзники слишком долго ждали и не внесли большого вклада. И сделали это из корыстных соображений и т. д. Запад внес, что мог. Да, я знаю, что Советский Союз принес самую большую жертву, но Запад внес свой вклад и заслуживает упоминания.

    Being a local from Cologne itself, it was quite strange to see my hometown being animated like that. But not bad. Some minor mistakes with depicting Cologne Cathedrals western facade but in conclusion a job well done. The original video tape is also very interesting from a historical science point of view. And yes, everyone in Köln (Cologne) knows about the "Panzerduell" in the Komödienstraße. Might check out the History of Cologne Podcast and the episode (Tale of Water and Stones) about the Roman city wall. ;)

      Eagle 7 didn't have stars on the hull, and the gun was aimed at the Panther, so Bartelborth probably couldn't see the stars on the sides of the turret. This was also 1945, there was no standard paint color for German tanks anymore, there were still tanks with Desert or Eastern Front camo that were redistributed to western divisions (in the book, the other German crew it follows got a "new" Pz.IV still in Italian Campaign camo). No one had seen the T26 before, he saw that long gun and muzzle brake and probably thought it was a Tiger at first.

    Ooh, I read Spearhead too! It’s an amazing book, it also shows the perspective of a German tanker who was also at cologne and how he “met” with Clarence there. Interestingly, the German tank commander told his gunner to hold his fire because he thought it was a new German tank, and after the duel he was convinced that it was still a brand new German tank but it was captured by the Americans.
