I wonder how many GI’s from Georgia felt good about driving a Sherman.

Why do you say GI’s from Georgia?

Sherman’s march through Georgia was the first use of “total war.” He made war on military and civilian alike. He’s therefore still not very fondly thought of in those parts.

I’m guessing he mention folks from Georgia because the Sherman tank was named after General Sherman who is famous for his “march to the sea” in which he stated he would make Georgia howl.

I believe the tank was named for Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman famous for his vicious march through Georgia to the sea.
