Default Re: German nicknames

Thanks to all for all the info and the numerous web sites. I'm going to be very busy reading all of them. At least they didn't call the Shermans the "Zippos", like we did the USS Forrestall [the USS Zippo (Lighter)] after her disasterous fire in Vietnam . She always had bad luck with fires onboard after that incidence.
Well thanks again. Sorry it took so long to respond but the mundane world shoves its ugly head in sometimes and doesn't like to be kicked out.
