I think Fred is saying that the Sherman, while not really up to par for a frontline MBT at the time, it sufficed for the actions in North Africa; not that it excelled there, just that it was enough to get the job done in the context of the North Africa campaigns.Trantor wrote:I respectfully disagree. Operation Torch was a success not because of the sherman, but rather although. Key factors were air supremacy, supply and good intel from the local resistance (Slowikowski, "Agency Africa").fredgiblet wrote:This is false. The Sherman was in fact quite comparable to it's opponents at the start of the war. By the time Normandy rolled around it was woefully inadequate, but in North Africa it was fine.Fotiadis_110 wrote:Also: in WW2 the sherman tank was actually an early war tank, and thus was obsolete before it even hit the battlefields
