It is clear that calling it an "elephant" at least affects how it is perceived, since the turret is called a "head;" that's actually in the text. I didn't realize that the story was abridged either; I'll have to look for a copy of the original. | |

| Jan 9, 2021 at 21:16 | comment | added | Buzz | I think you are misremembering why the tank is specifically called "The Elephant." There is a regimental insignia of an elephant holding a spear stenciled on the outside of the hulk (reminiscent of the symbols of the real 64th Armor Regiment of the United States Army).
