I know but the inherent problem was the 76mm series and even late 75mm model, even if going into service, was not the common Sherman on the...
Nice image but its a Sherman 76mm model.
Went to the facility when I was in France last time. Pretty scary actually, about 3000 people or something are entombed there, and frankly I kept...
-No cupola until the 76mm series and late 75mm series, Panther had it. -No neutral steering (ability to pivot on a single spot) or even the...
Its debatable if the H and J series had FHA since the Germans concluded 8cm FHA provided little advantage over 8cm RHA. That said its an...
Okay I do not agree with the notion that because one tank is different from another its unfair to compare the two. Its like saying the Sherman...
I'd give the slight edge to the Mark IVG-H series vs the Sherman 75mm series, as they had a somewhat better gun and its better velocity allowed...
Actually there were plans to marry the turret from the experimental T25 tank to the Shermans hull (Both tanks had 90 inch turret rings), and even...
Germans at least killed some 15,000 of their own soldiers during WWII, probably more given the rather summary nature of executions during the last...
Late G series should have been "the best" but you factor in armor flaws that were so common to late war German armor its hard to say. The German...
You know I am a bit torn on this issue. The German generals certainly were probably more respectable than Hitler and his cronies and I hope they...
The MG blame game seems to be a big thing done by mainly US historians, though certainly not exclusively. I have always wondered a bit if some US...
I agree many of the Ukranian "heroes" of WWII are total scum if you look at the crimes they committed. Unfortunately its done by all countries.
I'd have to throw in the Battle of Mocow as well, the Germans had numbers when they began the drive on Moscow. The Bulge as well, especially...
I have to agree its pretty hard to compare losses. To complicate matters the Germans didnt count lightly wounded in their totals, only men who had...
I guess for fun I might as well point out there are no US documents to prove Barkmann's corner ever happened. Three big stories from Normandy of...
Rusians didn't have radios below the battalion level, even if their gunners had the ability to do TOT, they didnt have the numbers of radio's...
Depends if it really was claims or confirmed kills awarded by OKH or whoever did confirmations. All sides over confirmed, so I doubt they got 3000...
I also read of the example of the guy who go through but unluckily caught a mortar round. Frankly it sounds too much like an urban legend of a...
Interesting. The reason I mention it is because I have seen quite a number of pictures of the Mark IVs superstructure seeming to have been broken...
