    News just in: It seems that the inconvenience of the location of the transport lock for the .50 call MG may be down to the MG mount's being moved so that they could do the bit where Mr Bradley Pitt fires the MG from his hatch, rather than from a standing position on the rear deck of the tank, which was more usual. Also, several people in the comments have identified the sticky tape used to hold the pin-ups as modern medical tape.

    I'm fairly sure the M4A2, 76 HVSS was just about used in WW2 at the end, just not on the western front, to my knowledge they were lend leased to the Russians and the Russians only used M4A2s as they standardized on Diesel engines. Interestingly the M4A2 uses basically the same engine as most Valentine tank variants, just two of them side by side. According to this website: "The Soviet Union received 2073 M4A2 tanks with the 76mm M1A1 gun." but apparantly most of these were without the HVSS suspension just regular old VVSS, and here "The Russians received some HVSS M4A2 76 tanks before the war ended." www.theshermantank.com/lee-and-grant-tanks/soviet-shermans-the-soviet-union-used-and-liked-the-sherman/ www.theshermantank.com/the-sherman-tank-variant-page-pages-for-each-type-of-sherman-tank/the-sherman-m4a2-medium-tank-major-sherman-model-rarely-used-by-the-us-army/the-sherman-m4a2-76w-the-most-common-soviet-sherman/ Also I've no idea where you got the idea the Sherman had no primary sights from, they're probably just missing from that restoration.

    Commanders often added or moved machine guns. "Wardaddy" is supposedly based on Lt. (Later General) Creighton Abrams, and you should see the mods he made to his seven Shermans throughout the war, so there's nowt wrong with moving the MGs. I'm fairly sure Wardadday does shoot the .50 cal from the engine deck though.

    3:44 Cello-tape. Yes, they had cello-tape in WWII. It was invented in 1930 by Richard Drew, an engineer employed by Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing (now known as 3M Company). It was and remains known by the tradename Scotch, ergo "scotch tape", a generic term for transparent tape in North America, regardless of manufacture. Today, transparent adhesive tapes are made of vinyls, but the original Scotch-brand tape was made of cellophane, invented by Swiss chemist Jacques Brandenburger and patented in 1912, which is where you Brits get your quaint "cello-tape".

    And right you are! When I had my physical examination for conscript service, I first asked if it would be possible to become a tanker. But then they told me that I would have to wait for about two years to begin my service, so I volunteered for the mountain infantry because then I could join right away and be done with my service sooner. Then, after having completed my mandatory service, I decided to stay on and became an NCO. And then one day, we were at this huge training facility where among other things we also trained how to conduct combined attacks with tank support, and later on the tankies offered me and a few fellow NCOs to join them for a ride in their M60s. Well, what can I say? After that ride (and also sitting in one of them with proper hearing protection while they were firing at the shooting range), I was pretty glad that I had decided to become a lowly grunt instead of a tin driver. :-)

    Thing is, there's two perspectives to this. The US gunner had the ability to react quickly to threats from more angles, by using his general vision periscope. This would be very handy against lurking Germans with Panzerfausts, likely at close range, who could come from many angles. The British hull MG positions had telescopic sights which made landing fire on enemies at long range very accurate from the first shot, but left awful peripheral vision and little chance to quickly engage someone close to the tank, because the MG required you to brace it up with your shoulder, eye to sight, to even begin to aim and fire.

    Yes, avoiding the supply confusion was the reason. The "76mm" gun was actually 3.00 inches (76.2mm), having been derived from the earlier 3 inch gun, but it used incompatible rounds. The earlier 75mm gun was derived from a French gun the U.S. started using in WW1, which is why it has a metric designation.

The 6046 is essentially two 6-71 engines mounted side by side. 12 cylinders total at 71 cubic inches per cylinder. Very modular design dating back to the 30's, and still used today.

I put it down when the tank commander beat his new crewman and executed the german pow. I have always been learned a commander NEVER beats a subordinant. To my knowledge the Germans had it so forbidden that it was a court martial offence. You never trust a commander who has beaten You. And you depend on those people to do their job without putting you in danger without cause, and I will never trust a commander who beats his crew.

    > I have always been learned a commander NEVER beats a subordinant Well... when I was an NCO in the Austrian Army back in the 90ies, I did that just once (and despite the circumstances, it was wrong): We were on the shooting range with our boys (which had about three weeks of conscript training behind them at that point) and I was standing as range officer beside a lad who suddenly had a stoppage. And instead of going through the proper procedures, he tried to turn to me for help while swinging his still loaded rifle around, too - _right in the direction of me and all the other men around._ I say "tried" because I instantly grabbed the barrel of his rifle and yanked it back in the general direction of the targets with one hand while purely out of reflex I gave him a hefty slap on the back of his head with my other hand and reminded him (in slightly colorful language, I must admit) to observe range safety. Realizing his error, he was mortified and complied at once. I then apologized to him, told him that I would be completely fine with him filing a complaint with the CO for me slapping him, and that there would be no hard feelings from my side because I had definitely been out of line, but he just answered: "That's okay, sergeant, I guess I did earn it somehow" before adding with a slight grin: "And as my head is still where it should be: no harm, no foul." (I'd also like to add that we still got along well for the rest of his service, and he also became a proper soldier.) But I _do_ fully agree with you on the point that beating a subordinate is a definite no-no which does require to be sanctioned adequately. And while I was "only" acting out of reflex, I _do_ admit that what I did was wrong, and I _did_ see to it that this remained a one-time misstep.
