The T-34 got a lot of press during and after the war. Some wanted to credit it with beating the Germans at their own game. A few things in its...
I know very little about this time frame but I can suggest you remember two things. France was occupied, Germany could exact any revenge it...
How does it fit in to a thread of finest or most influential? I've read a lot of history on armor in the ETO including Hunnicutt's Pershing and I...
The Pershing? How does that fit in?
Just taking the quote out of context means little. How did the speaker mean this? If the lone Sherman is crafty and gets in the right position...
freebird- Our conversation started here: My only answer as to why anyone would use gasoline is the example of our forces in the ETO during WWII....
Too bad you didn't direct it at that question. I appreciate the information on British tanks. Good stuff. If you haven't already could you...
Don't forget, that's not a tank.

Check any of the numerous books on fighting in the ETO and you will read accounts of one on one tank duels between Shermans where the Sherman...
Which day? 7 May 1945. If it is your desire simply to be a wise ass then save your replies for someone else. Gentleman, please remember...
What does that matter? Ask why they use the fuel they use, not which fuel do they use.
Obviously some exaggeration, but the T-34 was a great tank (even "superb") when it was introduced, and it outclassed the Germans at the start of...
Well, where was ammo stored on other tanks...the ones you believe didn't burn? Brewing up is a result of ammo burning, not gasoline. Diesel...
I don't think that is correct. If you shoot a tank and penetrate its armor hot steel fragments usually bounce around the inside of the tank,...
A thread like this was started and suggestions were made that it should be more specific. I'll do that with armor, my favorite subject and one...
