Not that I'm much of a war buff. Nobody writes about vehicle maintenance on the battlefield, but imagine towing those things and repairing them in the middle of a tank war with shells landing all around while the muscle heads stand around smoking.

I guess the reports on the Sherman were both positive and negative. However, most tank knock outs were not tank to tank but tank to anti-tank. The Nazis had some pretty good anti-tank weapons and the poor Sherman crews were dead meat.
I'd much rather be infantry then waiting for death in one of those Shermans.


I totally agree that the USA is becoming a second rate country, unfortunately because it has become so corrupt. The old War Department said "that's what happens when a nation (Germany) hands its government over to criminals and lunatics." Perhaps that's what we are going to end up with someday.
