    Sure they were death traps, but at their arrival they were one of the best tank that could easily take on and win against current germans AFV's with short 75mm and 50mm cannons.

    No mention of the up-gunned Sherman Firely, fitted with the powerful British 17 pounder anti-tank gun as its main weapon?

    Panzer crews referred to the Shermans as "Tommy cookers" due to their habit of going up in flames after taking a round in the right spot, and the manner in which the poor lads inside met their end.

    the Shermans helped bring the U.S to victory and the germans to terror.

    Better known by the German's as th Zippo or the Ronson !! All of My respect to the Guys that Crewed these Tanks & had the Hard Core Courage to climb back into these Tanks day in & Day out , when they knew it wasn't as Armored as the German Tanks that They went up against !! m/

    Thanks for the upload. More thanks to the Greatest Generation, for making this response possible.
    Errors: The "heavy" term for 1st, 2nd, & 3rd Armored was due to their modified 1942 organization; M5 Stuarts were used in these Divisions. 4,000 plus vehicles, many with trailers, end-to-end, stretch a lot more than 10 miles. Panzer IV & Panzer V translate to Tank IV & Tank V. The term "mark" is a mistake, introduced by the British. There's more but, no room here to mention them all...

    Yes, those tank crews did their jobs, and thats only because they had no choice in the matter, and that they had to use what they were forced to use.

    Also do remember, if it werent for Allied Air Supremacy over Normandy, there wouldve been alot more Panzers rolling around everywhere in Normandy and the D-Day Invasion could have possibly fail.

    You are right sir but the men still did there jobs in spite of all this. That's why they are the greatest generation.
