@@gerarddagle7580 its a 105mm howitzer gun to support infantry while real gun was 75mm, 76mm and 17 pounder guns to fight tanks and infantry. That’s a howitzer.

@@IrishAmerican17 the jumbo was an assault tank with the 75mm, some were field modified with the 76mm could you provide your source that states it had the 105mm as I’ve never seen that.
awesome!. amazing to get a first hand perspective of the INSIDE of one. From my computer! Thanks so much fo doing this. maybe do the same on the other vehicles. and an outside walk around tour too would be nice.
I've always preferred the sherman, even as a kid, even though there are larger tanks, I just love the shape, speed, maneuverability, reliability and in the hands of a very experienced crew, I believe it was undefeatable even against a tiger.😳🤠👍
Back in 1975 I was lucky enough to climb inside a Sherman left abandoned in the woods near Ettelbruk, Luxembourg. The top hatches were welded closed but I was able to enter from the bottom. My lasting impression is how little room there was for a crew to operate inside. I could see why so many tankers died. There's no way you could get out quickly.
"As you can see we are moving" *Cling* "......good thing that wasn't live" then all of a sudden the last thing the camera records is the sound of the tank blowing up
Yeah, I caught that too....It was, as I'm sure you're aware, a 75mm round. As a 1980s era U.S. tanker I "humped" enough 105mm rounds onto and into both M60A1 and (first model) M1 MBTs that I can spot one a mile away so to speak.
My Dad was a sergant in Sherman Tanks that after the breakout at El Alamein went up thru Italy with the NZ Division. He was at cassino and got shrapnel in the head while crossing the Sangro River..
My father in law was a driver in Italy with the NZ 19th armoured Division. He told me a lot of funny stories about what they did to the Americans there.
My grandfather was also in Italy in Sherman’s with Nz division. Joined just after casino then went all the way to Trieste. Initially loader/ operator then eventually in charge of a troop.
I worked in a park that had one on display and I managed to get inside because someone removed the original bottom of the tank and replaced it with thin sheet metal and a hole had developed from years of rust. I suppose it was to reduce weight. But I was amazed how there was literally nothing left inside. It was like being inside a balloon. Now they want to get this hunk of metal running again. How is it even possible?:)
I am playing with my son and his RC Sherman . He understands the history and the brave men . It's not all fun and games . Children must understand real life .
The Shermans were medium tanks. Against Panzer IIIs and IVs it dominated them. Heavys Panthers and Tigers were another matter. Until Firefly s and M-4 A8s they had to wait for Tank Destroyers or P-47s with 500 lbs bombs or try to gang up on them.
nice video my dad was a commander , he stood 6 foot 3 and hated to ride buttoned up , he was in the first Armored division , served in North Africa Sicily and Italy . I wanted to crawl inside A Sherman for as long as I can remember .
I just cringed when I looked at the inside front glacis,solid steel. They hadn't figured out the concept of spall liners yet. A round coming through the tank armor is going to splatter molten metal shards all through interior, those poor guys inside. What hell is like. I worked in the early 70's with a number of former WWII vets. One of them was a Sherman tank driver. He never said much, he just cringed and shook his head when asked what tank warfare was like. If not his tank, seeing other tanks "brewed up" and witnessing the charred ,mangled remains of fellow tankers after getting hit. These young men lived through their own hell, the same in every war. I wanted to be a tank commander, when I was going through the Army Induction Center in 1970. I still love tanks.
I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to crawl around inside of a Sherman when I was a kid but unfortunately it was so long ago I barely remember it.

Hi! As stated in the video this Sherman was in the film fury. We don’t say it was the hero tank, that’s in bovington, but this was in the background of the camp scene
I thought furry was a 1944 British Sherman variate known as a fire fly with the 17 pound gun that’s why I had a longer barrel Than other Sherman variance in the Movie the British version had a better chance of survival against German panthers and tigers with a 17 pound gun
Why would it be a firefly when it's an American tank unit? It wouldn't be because after going through testing the Americans hated the firefly and it's probably the worst version of the Sherman. Per after action reports the Sherman was 5 times better on the defensive and 3 times better on the offensive over the panther so yeah that's speaks for itself lol the tiger, hardly anyone saw them let alone a working one so the chance of survival was great against both.
