Default WW2 myth busting info sought

I'm reading the new regimental history of the Sherbrooke Fusilier Regiment (27th Canadian Armoured), and a footnote has made me mad. It claims that the Shermans were very tall compared to the PzKw IV and Panther V tanks.

A little wiki research didn't satisfy my curiousity. What are the definitive heights of these three tanks - to the top of the turret roof and the top of the cupola?

One specification which I bumped into for the Panther was its bore height. In other words, who cares how much more turret there is when the tube is the most important factor in a tank fight.

So, collective wisdom, where can I find good quality dimensions?
