Tank Overhaul: The Elefant (2009)
Incorrect Season Listed - Only 8 Episodes Aired in 2 Seasons
This episode is listed out of order in the database in relation to the rest of the series. The series only lasted eight episodes, but this is listed as Episode 9 for some reason, appearing in an "Unknown" season.
"The Elephant" is actually Episode 1 of Season 2. The air date of March 13, 2009 puts it just before "The Centurion", which aired on March 18, 2009. The series ended on April 2, 2009 with the airing of "The BMP".
The series aired four episodes in Season 1 (2006): Comet, Panther, Sherman and Hellcat. Season 2 (2009) also contained four episodes: Elephant, Centurion, Chaffee and BMP. Then the series folded and nothing else was ever released.
Tank Overhaul (2006)
Great series!
I found out about this series when I looking through the Winter 2016 copy of the Military Issue catalog. I ordered the set and really enjoyed the series. I only wish it had lasted longer than eight episodes! Each episode covers one vehicle and the crew that is involved in its restoration. The viewer gets a lot of information in a short period, including a history of the vehicle being restored, comparisons to modern-day armor, and time watching the crews as they battle with rust, seized parts and the other challenges of tearing apart vehicles that weigh tons.
If you're a lover of history, this series is a lot of fun to watch.
