The only thing that saved those poor souls in the Sherman tank was that Normandy was loaded with British agents and so the front collapsed. Running a higher casualty rate as a means of strategy is more commonly referred to as carnage.
Several years ago I talked to a SS Panzer commander. German nickname for Sherman was "Ronson or Ronson Lighter". My father's older brother, a Sherman radio operator, survived three of them. Earned Oak Leaf Cluster on Bronze Star w/V device during the Bulge.
