The trouble is that with bogus assertions such as that turrets had wet stowage and that 'crews' replaced guns with 76mm weapons, it's hard to know how reliable the other content is.

I'll stick with Hunnicutt and the Ampersand book myself.

A good effort but sprinkled with quite a bit of mis-information, I'm afraid.

I know relatively little about the Sherman. Thank you for pointing out the misinformation.
