The tales of the Sherman being a death trap are highly overblown Recently, I saw the final statistics on death-rates to Sherman crews per destroyed tank (it was linked to on Freeper Homer_J_Simpson's excellent daily WW2 series five or six weeks ago). They were 0.3 men per event, which is much lower than we've been led to expect. When a Sherman got badly hit, most got out alive.
