Cdn Sherman Help Needed

[maple_leaf_eh]

There are two TV shows on The War Channel (aka The History Channel) that popularize the SFR. You mentioned the battlefield detective .... Christie and his retelling of the death of Wittman's tanks. Just recently the unremarkable series, Tank Battles, has an hour of DDay tank battles built around the narrative of the SFR between the landings and Caen.

Trooper Phil Lawrence talks about killing Panthers in a troop shoot where his gunner fell asleep, and coming nose-to-nose with a Tiger with a hedge between them. After hammering about 6 AP rounds into its mantlet, the Tiger fired one shot that cut the turret roof, the driver jammed it in reverse and at max revs the Sherman backed out of trouble. Rad' talks about smoking a little patch of ground and then killing each tank that emerged from the smudge. He is acknowledged as Canada's top tank ace with 18 kills.

Your 1/6th tank must be a lot of fun. Tell us more ...
