Goinb back to our collective discussion of a few days ago...Here’s a review of “Fury”.

From that site: "The fact that there were absolutely green replacements with no tank experience used in the latter part of the war is incontrovertible."

Cooper commented on the History channel that the govt put the farm boys in the armor as drivers since they were used to driving tractors, etc. and would have an easier time coming up to speed. They still died like flies though.

What was it that Bradley was told about the tanks armor being penetrated.
That the shells only come in one side and rattle around a bit.
