Sick of watching History Channel shows that portray the Sherman Tank as the American King Tiger? If so then this vid is for you. It shows just how much of a disadvantage the Sherman crews had.
I have never, ever, ever, in my entire life, seen the Sherman portrayed as a supertank, or some sort of American equivalent to the King Tiger. And I've read/seen a lot of WWII history. It is usually portrayed as a shitty, lightly armored, flammable, medium tank, with a very steep front that had a tendency to catch too many projectiles, with the sole advantage being that it could be easily mass produced.
