I enjoy the irony about the adoption of German made guns. In WWII they put portholes in our MBT's or at least turned one angry Telly Savalas' Sherman tank into a convertible in "Battle of the Bulge" but then generations later appeared in the Leopard II with the smoothbore 120mm and then was adopted by the US in the M1 Abrams.....hmm
