RE: Technical Museum in Sinsheim (Germany). Tank "Sherman" M4/A1. Part 48 (↻100%)

in #museum7 years ago (edited)

I have read that the Shermans were so poorly armored that they were easily penetrated and destroyed by shells from both the Tiger and Panther. I heard they could also only attack even a Panther from behind, or else the Sherman's shells would bounce off if they hit anywhere else. Have you heard these things? ...or something different?

Sort:  

At the beginning of the war, it was a good tank. Then came guns and powerful tanks that effectively hit this tank.

Hmmmm...I thought Germany had Panthers at the beginning of the war...?

These are American tanks and their allies (England and USSR). Germany did not have these tanks.

I understand that...never mind...
