I watched all the videos on the build and read all the threads on ISM and I like the way it turned out.

Enjoyed your videos and your opinions. Hoped it free up the room on your shelving you expected. Great idea and build. Looking forward to the next one.

Superb scene Coen. Great stuff. Love all those tanks looking like heavy traffic. Shows how the Allies worked - overwhelming numbers that just kept coming. Fantastic.

Easy man, I just thought if you were going to spend that amount of time talking about how Wikipedia wasn't accurate you would check your sources and make sure of the information you give out is correct. I was just giving my own opinion based on what I know of photography and my own countries policy at the time on segregation in the US army. There is tons of information available on black army units as they were brought in to do everything towards the end of the war. They weren't however usually mixed with any other races other than their COs. So to say something like "that guy looks black, and that guy looks Hispanic therefore this is a mixed unit" suggests a fundamental misunderstanding of American policy.

Even Fury and Band of Brothers show Mexicans and various other ethnic groups serving in normal front line units. Blacks on the other hand due to America being segregated would never be in a unit with Asian guys.

But that is just a symptom of the problem that brought me here. And I do apologize for being blunt about this. But declaring you have figured out something based on just about no concrete evidence is just careless. If you have discovered new evidence about a photograph then share that evidence, it could change modern understanding of history. But if you just think something looks a certain way then just do whatever it is you're going to do. Don't claim to have knowledge without evidence to back it up.

You can read up on it and cross reference your own facts before going all history teacher on us in quite a degrading offencive style to be honest. The 37th and 761st was in the same villiage on the same day in the edge of the front where this picture was taken and in a more high resulution picture. Its a discussion about 1 photo as to "whats going on here" I think you might have missed the whole point is not to proove anything, it was a personal discussion between some modellers. There is plenty of pictures where´s what you see and whats its suppose to depict is in fact something else. Feel free to dig deeper. And this is not something from wikipedia dont know where you got that from.
