sparten,
25 Cav had M-47/48 Pattons. The Poona Horse that faced them had Centurians who shells use to bounce off the M-48s.

There is a person in my office who was present at that battle, who disagrees with that assertion. Infact as he just pointed out, the majority of tanks at Chawinda on our side were Shermans.

back to topic please.
