Hi Ed

Interesting that the author states that a lack of access to Shermans created the Ram.

It is my understanding that the Ram was set by design in "early 1941", a prototype out in June 1941 and production (Mk I) commencing in November 1941.

The initial design requirements and construction of the Ram prototype led the US, in April 1941, to adopt the design into their T6 model. First prototype in September 1941 and production (M4 Sherman) commencing in February 1942.

Am I wrong?

regards
Darrell

I have been a big fan of his YT work, and prodigious effort. Give him a break, he's a generalist who picks small story lines and does his best to make a good 7 to 12 minutes of content.

If he has mistakes, they are understandable and I don't hold them against him.

Hi Terry

Oh, I quite like his content too. I have watched pretty much all that he has made over the last few years and I have enjoyed his other Canadian topics immensely.

Yes, he obviously put a lot of effort into his productions but, none the less, it is erroneous info. Will it put me off watching him further? Nope.

regards
Darrell
