They were bad but there were a lot of them!!!
The M-4 Sherman was so bad it was almost criminal.
“They were bad but there were a lot of them!!!”
I remember seeing something about tanks in Normandy in 1944. The storyteller said that the first company of tanks, and the guys who had trained as tankers, had been wiped out. They got in 15 new tanks without crews so they grabbed some line dogs and trained them in the field how things worked. They sent them out. The next day, the storyteller said, he went up toward the front and found 12 of the 15 tanks knocked out.
We won that war mainly by attrition and a lot of brave guys.
