They spent too much time, IMHO, with the history of the Panther. IIRC, they did very little with the Maybach, just settled for comparing it to a modern diesel tank engine. Yawn. : : There was a show about some guys restoring a Sherman. It was on the Isle : of Wight somewhere. : I believe it was the same series - Tank Overhaul. And, yes, it was at least 50% a tour guide to visit the beautiful Isle of Wight (Man, what ever).
At any rate, this series has been bouncing around the various family of channels that owns Military Channerl, History Channel, etc. I believe it was most recently on Discover Channel HD.
They also did a Comet, which was perhaps the best from a pure nuts & bolts perspective. So far as I know, it has not gone any furthur than that, so no StuG that Littlefield has restored, nor the Bovington Tiger, Saumaur vehicles, etc. And, the Hellcat was a runner before some "sprucing up", so none of the other vehicles were actually shown running in the end, IIRC.
