Final Stage....
The Israelis have turned the tables on the invaders.
In the North they have pushed the Syrians off the Golan Heights and have actually invaded Syria, and are but a few miles from the capital, Damascus.
In the west the Israeli Army has thrown the Egyptians back across the Suez Canal, and in turn has invaded Egypt, heading for Cairo! President Assad of Egypt, seeing his country being invaded and watching his main ally getting a good leathering, has asked for a cease fire.
The cost in Egyptian tanks destroyed was in just three weeks of fighting was 2,500! The Israelis lost around 1200. Mind boggling destruction in such a short time,
and in a relatively small area of conflict.
Here are the final set of pictures of this build, showing an Israeli Sherman passing a burnt out T-62, and also passing the outpost, which was captured by the Egyptians during their initial advance into Israel.
A Patton and Sherman together waiting for further orders.....
....just in case an Israeli jet is trigger happy!
I would like to thank those who posted encouraging comments during the build and for sticking with it too!
It makes all the difference to me, and keeps me going.
Cheers.
