That doesn't mean it was a good tank.
I've also read plenty of memoirs from ordinary German soldiers who lived in fear of the T-34. None who feared the Sherman.
You apparently take me for the typical dweeb that only knows history based on what Hollywood tells him.
Give me more credit than that, Victor.
You'll always find somebody who loved Shermans, and, true, the Sherman fitted with the British 17-pounder cannon was a decent tank. But there weren't that many of them.
Even with the upgraded gun, it wasn't a match for the Panther or Tiger, certainly not the Royal Tiger (but neither was the T-34).
But none of this is even relevant. After Kursk, the Germans no longer had the capability of taking the initiative against the Soviets. Kursk was a full year before the second front in Normandy.
Like the Soviets or hate them, the US never would have withstood 25 million dead. We'd have surrendered long before that.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
