    What you see in the beginning of this video is one of the reasons why the Sherman was the all around best tank of WW2; i.e. the speed at which the M4's turret could traverse. Heavier German tanks had a slower turret traverse rate and were more sluggish than the M4. It's why in 30 engagements between M4's and Panthers, the M4 had a 3:1 kill ratio.

    Awesome! Glad they put that extra hatch on later models. Happy birthday to you and the tank Hector!

    It really is amazing how much room those Shermans had inside them.
