The point is ANY Allied tank hit by 'an ace' is counted as a kill. However it seems that any German tank hit is NOT counted as a loss if the wreck could be hauled away for repair. If the wreck had to be scrapped then it is said to be abandonment!
Up to a third of the Shermans hit were repaired so again I am highly skeptical of these mutiple every-hit-is a-kill claims. Can anyone point me to a checkable source, that is other than the report of the crew claiming the kills?
