Not one piece of allied after action analysis that I've read, yet, makes this estimation, though it is referred to and refuted in at least one contemporary report so presumably it began at the time. |
Well I would think the 5 to 1 business would depend highly on who crewed what tank. Another thought to ponder, how many variants of each design were there? Include chasis design as well and that would give you an idea of how valuable the brass of each respective Ally felt about their machines. In other words the versatility of T-34 versus M-4.
