Cobra King shortly after battling into the Bastogne perimeter
... that Cobra King(pictured), first tank to break the
Siege of Bastogne during the
Battle of the Bulge, was destroyed in the controversial
Task Force Baum raid but found and restored more than 50 years later? (Source: There isn't exactly one source that exactly says all this completely clearly;
[1] is closest.
[2] Gives a clearer ref for "first tank to break the seige", and there are clearer refs still.)
QPQ: - Not done Overall: I enjoyed this article! It is interesting, well written, new enough, long enough and well cited. ALT2 is the best hook - it's concise, interesting and notable. The main hook includes a statement that is disputed by historians i.e. that the Cobra King was destroyed in the Baum raid, so I would leave that out as controversial. ALT1 is okay but the fact of its restoration and current location is not particularly unusual. So I'm striking out the first two and am happy to approve this once the QPQ is done.
