Wilhammer Posted October 6, 2000 Share Posted October 6, 2000 Found on the Oral World War 2 History site, www.tankbooks.com. Tony D’Arpino: I think Sergeant Warren used to have the right idea. I can remember him, God rest his soul, saying, I made tank commander for a couple of weeks, that’s another story, but he used to tell me, "Listen, if you ever become tank commander," he says, "never mind getting the high explosive shells. Get the white phosphorous." He says it does the same job and twice the damage. Ed Spahr: Well, they’d have knocked us out quicker, I think, if I wouldn’t have fired white phosphorous that day. Because that one tank stopped. Tony D’Arpino: Nobody got much white phosphorous until Sergeant Warren. Ed Spahr: I hit him right in the front and that tank stopped because he thought he was on fire. Interesting. -Wilhammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
