Great episode. 🇨🇦

It’s actually crazy the difference in numbers on the Russian front, and the allies.

[@Scr33d]

Why not give it it's original name? "Greatest Tank Battles - Battles of Italy" instead of just making up new titles and re-releasing episodes?

[@jameslang1367]

I don't think the Canadians got the recognition they deserved during WW2.

[@TrySomeFentanyl]

Thank god for a recap of the last 5 minutes every 10 minutes, or else I’d have no idea of wtf is going on.

General Mark Clark consolidated the beach and let the Germans set up.

I wish they could explain how a Sherman tank with its low velocity 75 millimeter main Cannon can destroy a panzer with a single shot head on. I was under the impression that shermans had to get very close to a panzer 4 or 5 just to have a prayer to penetrate their armor. Were there a revolutionary development in ordinance technology ? A new kind of armor piercing shell perhaps? what was the difference? I mean ... c'mon how 8 panzers can be destroyed by Shermans while suffering only 2 of their own. ... why _?

Watch Europa, the last battle.... It's the truth rather than this fiction.

[@marcel_max]

Less content about wars would be appreciated. Thank you.

The Germans held the allies in Italy? I don't understand.... I'm 100% confused rn
