I ran across this while researching some other things. While not ship related, or even necessarily model related I think there a number of members who are closet tank aficionados. Before seeing this I would had said "No way". Some things are truly stranger than fiction.

Not only impressive that it survived in combat usable condition but like YT says, suicidal in that it WAS used! It is truly amazing on just how casual people sometimes were about radiation back then.
