Any serviceman who served in a Sherman M4 had huge respect for them and gave them a wide berth.

It’s GUFFY!!!!!!!!!

“Battle of the Bulge”, 1966. Telly Savalas, Robert Shaw, Charles Bronson, Henry Fonda, Robert Ryan, Dan McArthur, and a whole bunch of other stars from back in the day.

And they were driving M24 Chaffees and calling them Shermans, while the Germans were using M47 (or 48s) and calling them Tigers...

But still... I saw it as a kid. It made quite the impression on me.
