Great article! Especially the solid immutable fact "Quantity has Quality of its own" 'During World War II, approximately 19,247 Shermans were issued to the US Army and about 1,114 to the US Marine Corps The U.S. also supplied 17,184 to England (some of which in turn went to the Canadians and the Free Poles), while the Russians received 4,102.'' The Russians built 100.000 tanks of which 83,000 were lost....there were only ever 1400 Tigers and that total includes rebuilds. Comin' at you from East and West, I make it....141,647 vs 1400 slow moving Tigers with limited field/bridge range/access and a logistic problem in having to dismantle wheels for rail transit....they should better have spent the Reichmarks on Panzer IV's en masse!
