M18 Hellcat "Crock of Cognac"
The 805th Tank Destroyer Battalion was formed in 1941 and saw action in North Africa - including the Battle of Kasserine Pass - and later in Italy. Initially equipped with towed artillery, the unit received M18 Hellcat tank destroyers in 1944. One of them was the "Crock of Cognac," named by its crew in keeping with the American tradition of naming vehicles. The battalion took part in offensives in Italy, including the capture of Bologna and the advance to the Brenner Pass.
