Caught this on Twitter this morning. Thought some of you might enjoy, and I'd like to hear if anyone  has an observation.

Eh... lots of repetition of the same old urban legends stuff. Not much good analysis of the overall facts and situations. 

Id suggest looking at Zaloga‘s books on the Sherman for good in depth understanding of the tank.

I don't follow twitter so I only read the first couple tweets.

It's all been pretty well covered. There is/was a member here who was trying to promote a publication he'd done claiming what a horrible tank it was, mostly a lot of hearsay.
