Ep 5. Allies Vs Nazis

In Combat Dealers Reloaded season 1 episode 5, titled "Allies Vs Nazis," viewers are taken on an exciting journey into the world of military artifacts and historical memorabilia. The episode focuses on the team at The Tank Museum in Dorset, who are on the hunt for a rare piece of World War II history – a Sherman tank.

The crew, headed by military vehicle expert Bruce Crompton, begins the episode scouring the countryside for leads on Sherman tanks that may be available for purchase. The team is looking specifically for a Sherman M4A2, a rare variant of the tank that was produced in limited numbers during the war. Their search takes them from one private collection to another, each time meeting with owners who are as passionate about military history as they are.

As Bruce and his team meet with various collectors, they also take some time to explore some of the history and significance of the Sherman tank. Viewers are treated to some detailed information on the role the tank played in World War II, and how it was revered by both Allied and Axis forces for its toughness and versatility.

But it's not just history that's driving this episode – it's also about finding and acquiring a Sherman tank to add to The Tank Museum's collection. As the team continues their search, they come across a Sherman M4A2 that's been sitting in a private collection for decades. After some tense negotiations with the owner, the team finally secures the tank and begins the process of transporting it back to The Tank Museum.

But things don't go smoothly. As the team begins to move the Sherman, they discover that the tank's tracks are too narrow for the museum's trackway. They are forced to improvise a solution, using a set of bogies to widen the tracks and make the tank transportable. This takes time and effort, but eventually, the team is able to get the tank back to the museum safely.

Overall, "Allies Vs Nazis" is an engaging and informative episode that will appeal to both military history buffs and fans of reality TV. The show does a great job of balancing the historical significance of the Sherman tank with the excitement of the acquisition process.
