213748 Edward Lambert United States Army from:Collingswood, NJ Army tank commander Ed Lambert of Collingswood remembers losing three tanks in the war, the last one during the Battle of the Bulge, outside Bastogne, Belgium. It was hit by an artillery shell. "Our Sherman tanks were iron caskets. None of my original crew survived the war. We didn't have any heat in the tank. My toes have been cold from the time I came home. Any time the temperature is low like this I wear heavy-gauge socks." Lambert's tank was hit near Bastogne, where the American commander had once famously rejected the Germans' call for surrender with one word: Nuts. "I was with Gen. George Patton. He was a crazy man but anything that would get us the hell home, that was OK with me."
