I'm not saying that they are equal- I'm saying that the Panther was only slightly better in head to head contact with a Sherman 75mm in close or...
The Luftwaffe was not a significant or decisive strategic force but I was under the impression that the Luftwaffe, when properly massed, was still...
I did a lot of public speaking in college, and I've noticed how many very brilliant people kind of have a brain-freeze in front of 30, 100, or...
The often quoted bit is that "the Sherman 75mm could stand on their own against the Panzer IV in a frontal fight, but they couldn't deal with the...

There's this crazed Desert Storm veteran (corporal, combat engineer) that posted on a politics board a few years back..he couldn't make three...

I'm surprised that the mechanical breakdown rate is so high in these figures due to the often mentioned reliability of the T-34 series. The Tiger...
