The Lyrics

The T28 (later called 105 mm Gun Motor Carriage T95) was a prototype heavily armoured tank destroyer, designed for the US Military during the Second World War. It was originally designed to be used to break through German defenses at the Siegfried Line, and was later considered as a possible participant in an invasion of the Japanese mainland. It had no conventional turret, giving it a comparatively low profile. Its total weight when fully equipped would have reached ninety-five tons. The armor was very thick compared to tanks of the time, in some places up to twelve inches thick (thirty centimetres). This was considered heavy enough to provide protection from the 88 mm gun used by German heavy tanks. The engine was an underpowered gasoline Ford GAF V-8, delivering 410 hp, which gave it a top speed of about 8 mph (13 km/h). To carry the tank destroyer's great weight, it used four tracks instead of two. The outer tracks could be detached for easier transport. After removal they could be fixed together to make a unit that could be towed behind the tank. Its main armament was a 105 mm T5E1 gun in a ball-shaped mantlet, set into the front of the hull. It also had a fifty-caliber machine gun above the commander's hatch. Although sometimes referred to as a Super-heavy tank the T28 was really a very heavy tank destroyer, and was re-designated as the 105 mm Gun Motor Carriage T95 in 1945. In 1946 it was renamed again, to T28. The original plan was for five prototype vehicles with a production total of 25. However only two were ordered and none saw combat. Currently one of these tanks can be viewed at the Patton Museum of Cavalry and Armor in Kentucky. Data: Length : 11.13m Width : 4.55m Hight : 2.84m Weight : 95t Engine : Ford GAF (500hp) Max Speed : 13Km/h Crew : 4 Armament : 105mm Cannon, 12.7mm Machine Gun
T28 in WW2
planned 25

Tank destroyer for breakin’ through
410 hp supplyin’
8 mph drivin’

US Army couldn’t stand it
Panzers runnin’ around
105 (mm) gun would be deadly
With thick armor, enough to put them down

T28 in WW2
planned 25
For 1945

They built two
They built two
They built two
Other 23, no go
End of war near
Was just too heavy
And was too slow

US Heavy
T28 in WW2
planned 25
(Jagdtiger rivalry)
