(WWII Tank Showdown) 2. světová válka Rauray, Normandy, 1944: The commander of the British Sherwood Rangers turned his Sherman tank into Rue Massieu, just as a German Tiger tank turned the corner at the far end. Only 110 meters separated them. Incredibly, the monstrous Tiger was knocked out by the British Sherman. James Holland and Stephen Prince reveal why this was not just an extraordinary encounter between competing armor, but also provided clues to why the Allies were winning. In comparing Tigers vs. Shermans, we restrict our ability to analyze the events that took place and their wider meaning. The tank battle was a tiny episode in a vast battlefield, but for anyone who wants to understand what a small victory can tell us about the methods adopted by both sides during the war, they were significant. Understanding these battles makes it clear why the Allies won the war. MN 16 (United Kingdom)
