Well, I guess our primary tank, which we had a lot of, was the Sherman, I believe reliability, and maneuverability were its strengths, while German tanks, the Panther and Tiger, had lots more armor and far superior cannons, one on one, the Shermans were no match, I don't think.

Yeah, I don't think the Germans were able to get over the amount of stuff we were able to throw at them.

I saw in a documentary that the Russian tank, a T-something or other, was also very superior and an unpleasant surprise to the Germans, and based on an American design that our people chose not to use.

And they could never get over the other obstacles, like trying to beat almost the entire world.

They were evil and they are in hell. Like the Japs, who were worse.
