I love this man. I could hear him talk all day. His personality is basically someone who has heard every myth in the book, every out of context claim, every weak/bad source, every handed down generalization in history. He just said "To hell with it. The time for cordiality is over!"

“Significant emotional event” is a wonderful way of putting it.

Soviet tank crews of Lend-Lease Shermans loved them. In particular, they were far more comfortable rides, and required less maintenance -- the treads, for instance, lasted twice as long. And if hit, they were far less likely to explode than a T34 because of more stable American explosives. At least, according to Dmitriy Loza.

Ever notice how people who say Shermans always burned due to petrol, rarely if ever say the same about all the other country's petrol fueled tanks?

Yay! Someone mentioned the "Holy crap it's a Tiger!" phenomenon.

About time someone gives the poor Sherman the credit it deserves. As much as I love Pershings, tigers, and fireflies, there was a lot of misconceptions about them. The Sherman was always great tank. Was it the best? No, it was great for it’s time and what it was designed for.

It is worthy of note that Shermans performed very well in Korea vs T-34s.
