Comments by "Comm0ut" (@Comm0ut) on "Sherman Death Trap: Veterans vs Historians" video.
Numbers matter more than emotions. Cooper is as sloppy as SLA Marshall. It's the job of historians to be accurate not emotional. Sherman crew losses were surprisingly modest, their automotive systems were outstanding thanks to decades of mass production experience, and the Sherman WAS EASY TO SHIP GLOBALLY. Every US tank had to cross an ocean to fight in an era before modern logistics and shipping containers. Shipping was "break bulk", slow, limited, crude and done with primitive ships built in desperate hurry. BTW the real death traps were bombers and the 8th AF lost more men in the ETO than the entire USMC lost in all its theaters during WWII. Another scary place with decent odds was the LST. Noobs should not have opinions and stick to drooling on their shoes.
