In this video, IWM's John Delaney will examine the M4 Sherman in the round. He'll look at the tank's design, what it was produced to do, and how it compared to its German equivalents. Plus he'll examine some of the Sherman's forgotten attributes which outclassed even the heaviest German tanks. #history #ww2 #tanks Explore and licence the film clips used in this video from IWM Film: https://film.iwmcollections.org.uk/co...
