Come to that, I'm not even sure there were any Shermans there....

You understand me incorectly i didnt mean that he hit the column moving i mean it for outher battles.Im more the sure that there were Shermans in the column.
You could argue with me as much as you want but i drived T-55 one fantastic tank even if i dont wanted i learn a lot about the tanks even about the Sherman and like it or not M1 Sherman isnt good tank 50mm armor dont forget that the Tiger have 100mm this outdone even the time now T-55 is 100mm armor and 120mm and T-72 120 mm you see Tiger can compere to the tanks now.Sherman M51 is far more beter tank.Germans had the best tanks in the whole war there were biger,beter and more perfect.Of course every tank have a weeknes for example Elipfant doesnt have MG42 and this make him easy to be destroyed by inf. even you can trow a molotov or light the tank.Panzerjager and some of the Murder series are open from the back so you could easy trow a molotov or just shot the people inside the tank.Most of the german tanks are really weak in the citys because they are big and manytimes they stuck betwen two buildings or can be easy destroyed from the back with bazooka(this is maybe a problem of many tanks).Tiger is large tank its just not for the city its field tank.
PS:Wittman is a legend, maybe even a hero and an example for any tanker even me so please dont defile his name infront of me.
