4-Armor Shermans in Ardennes 1944!!!

[patman]

You linked to the PG-HQ image library in your post. 

But perhaps you just meant to suggest that the AP webmaster idly picked a Sherman image (that happened to be a rare variant), without deeper meaning, for the Ardennes 1944 article. Since Mike fills pretty much all posts at AP, I am guessing that the image was meaningful with respect to what's in the box...
