Whilst digging around for another thread...I found this piece on YouTube......Its interesting but it does not paint the Sherman in a very good light...The program is called 'Engineering Disasters'...so that pretty much gives you a clue to what it thinks of the Sherman as a fighting tank.....I always thought that General Patton had some good ideas and some Brilliant Quotes ( See Below)...but his choice of tanks seems to be a bit flawed......IF, it was his choice....

........' I would rather have a German Division in front of me, than a French Division behind me'......General Patton.....
