Cool story if you want to read it : Dad was a truck driver and operated a tiny company with 2 Transtar cabovers, a Ford 9000, 2 40ft van trailers and a flatbed. He and my bothers hauled everything. He had contacts from his military days and from the REA railroad job he had out of the service. He hauled a few hulls and turrets from the east coast and Texas to Ft. Knox where they used combat wrecks for target practice. Knox was the U.S. army's school for tankers. As a kid I played in a German Marder, a Panzer III and what I think was the Pz IV with the short 75mm. and a Kfz 7. He didn't haul the the T28 but I spent a lot of time on and in it's very neglected fighting compartment. Every peice had been in the weather and had been home to birds and other critters for years. I had access to every tank and artillery piece the museum was preparing for display as they kept them in a lot as they decided whether it would be shot at on the range or restored. Everything there and any of the 4 my dad hauled. But the most fun was wasn't a tank or artillery piece. Dad hauled a Gemini capsule that was used for training and he hauled it from a base in Texas. He brought the space capsule to his warehouse while a museum in Kentucky prepared to install it as an exhibit. It was a 2 seat vehicle that could have flown. It had every thing that a flight model had. He had it for a year and I spent so much time flipping the 200 or 300 switches and just as many buttons I think I could fly it myself. I was just a hellion having a blast. Good times. Thanks Daddy. Miss ya

Such a beautiful tank IRL (in real life). So amazing that it had 305mm of frontal armor. Its too bad that Russian-propaganda tools like War Thunder, nerfed the T-28's armor so badly, that it can be one-shot by other tanks that IRL were completely incapable of even denting (let alone penetrating) its frontal armor ... and they also nerfed the T-28 rounds, so it often cannot even penetrate even 100mm of armor at close range, when IRL it could easily.

I got inside and saw the condition of the T28, T30 and dozens of others prior to this work. Believe me, you could tell they were exposed for 70 years. Sadly there was even trash inside of them. They have done a wonderful job of bringing them back to original condition to preserve for future generations. They also have a lot of rare WWII German Tanks that I got to see close and personal.

Amazing historical work. We are our own memories.

The discussion on white paint was interesting. One other reason for the white paint was cleanliness. When I took over my first platoon of M60A1s in 1976, my platoon sergeant showed me where the paper towels were stored and the spay bottles of the commercial "409 Cleaner" I was given my TC area to keep clean. Did not matter that I was a lieutenant, I was a TC first. Tanks tend to accumulate grease and oil and dirt/mud captures the oil all of which can be catastrophic if hit . My Platoon Sergeant's Vietnam lesson was that clean tanks are likely not to burn, dirty tanks burn very easily. I remember one ill fated platoon leader who legend had it that his platoon tried to kill him (it was the mid 70s) for the sin of not taking off his rubber overshoes before entering another crew's turret. Judging this as an unbiased observer, I would have viewed it as justifiable homicide.

Man am I glad I finally can see and learn more about my favorite tank, the T-28/T95. Wikipedia only allows so much, and its almost never something I didn't know before. I'm glad it got a firsthand look for more people to discover and learn about it :D
