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.
You should watch more of the History Channel. Can probably find them on Youtube. Not that it's surprising considering the History Channel now does shows on how the Bible is historically accurate and Aliens.
