Good question about what they are doing with the tracks of the Sherman in post 16.

I agree that they are removing them but it would be far easier to do one at a time as you can still move the tank with the other track. Also it is normal practice to break the track under the sprocket as that way when you put it back on you can use a rope round the sprocket as a capstan to pull the track forward and when the teeth engage the top run of the track can be kept in tension while you re-connect the track. Done right on firm level ground it is not too much of a job for two people, the worst bit is getting the end connectors off, made worse by the fact that the proper tool was designed to fit Stuart too and is realy not man enough for Sherman track.
