Polish Sherman?
hahha ha:)
Poles did have enough modernized T-72 since 1990, not to use ww2 raritet.
Look at the photo - it’s a Sherman on a Polish Lorry (a Mercedes one at that), rather than a Polish Sherman. Although I suppose it might be a Polish Sherman now :D.
Well may be this is Polish …now.
Is this a resault the program of re-arming the Polish Army according to NATO standards:)
The “newest” NATO’s wearpon , that makes be so proud now:)
:lol:
More seriously, I thought the Poles made a nice variant of the T-72/80 MBT…
The Sherman Tank was a crap enginerring design. In my own opinion that is, The only reason
that they turn the war around is that the Sherman tanks just reproduced like rabbits.
The Tiger Tank just couldet keep up.Pretty smart thinking from the Americans.
…or do you mean Poles have stealed that Sherman:)?
Their habits are still actual in Iraq:D:mrgreen:
So lets drink for our “rabbits” T-34 and Shermans that have buried all the slowly moved monstrous Tigers finally:)
Indeed it was a GIANT and SERIOUS advantage - the ability of our medium tanks to be mass prodused was amazing. I read the ONLY soviet indusry was capble to produce about 2000 of chassis for T-34 ( that also were used for Sy-85/100) per MONTH since 1943.
As i know Totaly have been produced about 50 000 of T-34 all of modification and about 35 000 Shermans during the war.
for the compare the Germans couldn’t produce more then 5 500 of Panthers and ONLY 1260 Tigers1/2.
They did no have any chances…
That’s what I was pointing out… That the truck was Polish…:neutral:
Im shell skocked, I got a positive feed back from another member.
Actually, it’s German.
Not really…
what did chevan mean then. Was he teasing me was he.
One can never be sure with our dear friend Chevan, He has a well developed sense of humor. So much so that it is exceedingly difficult to know who he is funnin’…
As to the M-4 series of tanks, they were a very well developed vehicle.And were very reliable although not designed for the task to which they found themselves impressed. Mass produced in their thronging hoards, crewed by both Noble, and common, it was the brave hearts of those crews and not just the machine itself that made the victory.
Made by a German car company, with a Polish flag on it.
Why i can’t be positive to him , Nick?
Is mr aly j one of those little nazi who attacked forum recantly?
oh common mate.
Not as much developed sense of humor as the ugly the knowledge of english. What makes me to do a funny logical mistakes sometimes.
But not in that case.
Face it dear friend, you are a funny man. your English is fine enough too. (Many natives here do not speak as well as you do.) The problem with U.S. English is that pretty much any word can be used to say most anything… Very confusing to many. some here no longer know how to say what they mean. (if they knew it to begin with):mrgreen:
The end of the line for a Sherman, used as target for 30 mm shaped charge projectiles, not sure if those are complete penetration tough.
Sorry about ignoring your post PK, but if the Israelis were contributing a Super-Sherman, why not contribute a Merkava?
Yep, looks like they went through alright,(whistles in the wind)
