It was probably used for target practice on the range, based on the number of penetrations.
That's true. This tank was used after the war for training and was targeted by modern weapons
If you pause and read the plaque its says it was used a target practice.
Yep
for target practice it looks too good thou
Otherwise it has to be treated like a grave and this kind of exhibition would not be acaptable.
turret crews: tis but a scratch

For anyone wondering why it say “M4 Sherman Panzer” panzer means tank in German and this museum is in Germany
I thought it was because it was used by the Germans, so they stole it and used it themselves.
Panzer means Armour in German . The usage of the term Tank came from the code name from the first world war " water carriers for mesopotamia " A secret weapon design at that time .
My guess confirmed 👍
@@Daracdor true, tank would be panzerkampfwagen, however Panzer is often used in spoken language and to abbreviate the full name.
this all reminds me of "Katana means Japanese sword" 😁
This looks like an original cast-hull Sherman. It has the 75mm turret, VVSS and everything. Damn shame it was probably used as for target practice.
It was actually used for target practice, but fortunately it ended up at the museum and was saved from scraping!
@@alexandrosmandilaras Damn, that's not great. At least it wasn't like a Calliope or a Jumbo. Then again, a Calliope is just a Sherman with a bunch of rockets on it and a Jumbo could probably take the hits.
m4a1 76mm
@@patcab3279 No, that's a 75mm turret. It's rounder and less bulky. The mantlet is also different.

"THE FUEL TANK'S BEEN HOLED"
the Sherman tank is a tin can! Traces of bullets on the armor, this suggests that! The German tiger pierced it through from a distance of 1000 meters, this is not a tank, but shit!
"THE TARGET HASNT TAKEN ANY DAMAGE"
"IT SERVES HIM RIGHT"
At launch, this shell had a "piper", an explosive grenade detonated already in the barrel. The tank was then used for target practice for a few years.

Not bullet holes, shrapnel holes from a bomb. Little Bullets don't go thru tanks
@@ezriderspewstruth8867I've seen the fifty-cal punch halfway through railroad tie if they're hiring out calibre wicked enough philosophy they can punch through a decent bit of metal and not all of those went all the way through. There's also the fact a lot of the penetrations were in areas where the metals week like the road wheels.
@@ezriderspewstruth8867 no way shrapnel did that shrapnel doesn't make little perfect holes lmaooo what a moron it was obviously used for 50 cal practice and no it didn't penetrate...

I know that reference.
And it's golden.
One thing that’s always amazing to me is how crude even the best made stuff was back then vs now. When I was a kid my first exposure to vintage war machines was in miniature and the model biz didn’t have the tech to represent such imperfections until like thr last 15 years or so especially on airplanes with their warping of riveted plates. Eventually my folks took me to war museums at my request. They supported this and were grateful I had no interest in amusement parks. I was shocked by how crude the assembly of these things what they accomplished even more impressive.
The german founders at the museum: yo sorry bout that😅
It was a target practice vehicle used by the US
@@littlemozzie1668 then why does it stand in germany
The museum is fantastic. Visited there when stationed in Stuttgart, Germany.
i totally agree, the museum is worth visiting! Special events and different vehicles make the second and third museum visit experience unique and extraordinary.
A few months back, i brought my grandpa to a military museum near a base he used to be stationed at as a armored support company. Anyways we walk trough the museum and stumble upon an absolutely DEMOLISHED Sherman wreck, i audibly go _Dang what happened to this one?_ when my grandpa nonchalantly replies: _Ah thats the target i learned to shoot the centurion with!_ as he pointed at one of the gaping holes in the front plate. Needless to say i laughed my *ss off 😂😂
Lol, very interesting story though, thanks for sharing! Museums preserve history items but our grandpas are the best and living way to learn history
Cool story, also you don't have to censor "ass" lol, youtube only censors you if you're using it to be derogatory
@@alexandrosmandilarasfacts lol
The good ol’ centurion 🇬🇧 mad to think some variants were used as late as 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict the Israel Defense Forces employed modified Centurions as APC’s and combat engineering vehicles. The South African National Defence Force also still employs over 170 Centurions, which were modernised in the 1980s and 2000s into the ‘olifant’ mk1 , it has a locally produced gun, power pack, transmission, tracks, wheels and fire control system and thus, at least the Olifant 2 can be seen as almost a new tank… ‘almost’ being the key word

If anyones wondering why the Sherman is labeled “Panzer“ on the sign, its just German for “Tank“ - German Speaker
Edit: I’m aware that it means armor, I think my thoughts blended posting this, back then a common term for tanks and other heavy armored vehicles was ”Armor“, which is what a few people have said, anyway, just go on Google translate. It means armor and tank

Also Hitlers armored mercedes 6-wheel is there
That's great! I hope you had time to observe the submarine trasnport to the museum last weekend
@@alexandrosmandilaras the submarine is transported to speyer, not sinsheim
Yes you are right, but both museums are not far away from each other. Many museums fans travelled for hours to watch the transportation
I went to the museum when I didn’t give a shit about planes. If only I could go there again…
I've been there it's awesome to see history from the other side of things.

Судя по количеству маркеров у меня три мнения. Либо этот использовали как мишень, либо обстреляли фугасами, либо танк был уничтожен в результате детонации боекомплекта
вы правы, танк использовался как тренировочная мишень после окончания войны. Во время Великой Отечественной войны в стволе разорвался снаряд, и танк был брошен экипажем. Смотрите мое новое видео, рассказывающее историю этого танка здесь: th-cam.com/video/AMneIVihAjM/w-d-xo.html
For all you people who dont speak german out there, no the sign did not mean that the M4 Sherman was a Panzer model. Panzer means tank in German
Verdade tô ligado friz
I thought it meant panther.. lol cool fact
Well Duh ! 😅
It means armor. The word tank in English is, wait for it. tank in German.
@pete1342 Actually if you translated tank into German, you wouldn't get tank back as a result. It would be Panzer
POV: Sabaton suddenly plays when you turn an object show into a WAR in War Thunder
Is that red wax(?) to help things stand out or is it to keep people from scratching themselves?
It was used as target practice. The red paint marks previous hits so that the next time they fired they knew which one was their last shot
They were painted to highlight the penetrations
Hold F to repair vehicle.

I don't know this for certain, but I think this is a training tank with non hardened armor. On normal armor steel bullets wouldn't go this deep.
I've just uploaded a video with all the facts about this Sherman: th-cam.com/video/AMneIVihAjM/w-d-xo.html
"its just a dent"
The dent:
Most of those arent bullet holes they are M72 rocket training rounds they are about 30mm in diameter and hit but dont make the big hollywood explosions
Think it's .50
That tank is an original state from battle.. We have several tanks of many kinds on the militery range near me and they are absolutely distroyed😁👌❤️🇬🇧🪓
It has both battle and range target damage. Take a closer look at the penetrations in my new video telling the story of this tank: th-cam.com/video/AMneIVihAjM/w-d-xo.html

Everything the Germans built was way ahead of everyone else, German quality is well known, they except nothing less then total perfection

It looks like a shell went in through the corner and exited the turret. It's a hard lesson that the high ground is not always better.
If you read the sign in front of the tank you would know that this was a practice target tank at a firing range
I mean, wrong war for the song, but still cool

Sherman's a THIRD generation tank. Nowhere near "one of the first."
A tank with a catastrophic reputation for the life of its crew.
Yes indeed! Watch my new video telling the story of this WWII tank here: th-cam.com/video/AMneIVihAjM/w-d-xo.html
The German Tank Crews called it "Bunsen-Burner". The fatality rate Panther, Tiger / M4 Sherman was around 1/10. Problem was: The US brought 20.
Everyone loves to hate the Sherman, without looking at all the facts. Like the US had to ship them across oceans instead of just rolling them out the back of a factory. Or that they were never intended to take on heavy German tanks. Or that the heavy German tanks were so unreliable only a fraction ever made it into combat. Or that there were only three actual engagements between Shermans and Tigers and Shermans won all three. Or that if you get assigned the terrible job of cleaning out blown up tanks and then write a book, you undoubtedly see the Sherman only as a death trap.
@fedfrederick5607
Myth. German heavy tanks actually had a better than 70% operational average in 1944. It was near 80%. At the end of September they actually reached a high of 98%.
Source. Thomas L Jentz, Tiger I and II Combat Tactics.
I can assure you that there were more than 3 Sherman v Tiger engagements, with the kill ratio well in favour of the Tiger.
@fredfrederick5607
On 9th August 1944 during Operation Totalize the Canadian 28th Armoured Regiment at Estrees la Campagne /Quesnay Wood lost a whopping 44 Shermans, mostly to a small number of Tigers from Schwere SS Panzer Abteilung 101. No Tigers were lost. The Tigers stood off and sniped them from 1,000 yards and more. It was a complete one sided annihilation.
Without mass artillery, infantry and air support the Sherman was a mediocre tank in direct frontal engagements v Tigers.
During Operation Totalize, Tigers had a 10:1 kill ratio v Shermans overall. 60 plus Shermans lost compared to only 6 Tigers. That's direct Tiger v Sherman engagements.

it took a long time for the german commander to remeber his tiger has a 88mm gun

Thing was used as target practice thats why theres all them holes in it. Would he cool if this sherman was actually found on a battlefield but it was just used as a target for field practice
I was confused for a second when it was called a sherman panzer until i remembered that panzer means tank…
It means armor
Panzer is the German word for tank. Look it up in the dictionary.
Yes, it also means armor. Just like in English words can have multiple meanings.
I visited Cairns Australia and went to the museum of armory and tanks. Largest collection in southern hemisphere. Ww2 stuff from all contingents. 11 out of 10 😊
nice, what did you like most at the museum?
Bro didn’t let anything stop him
All i can say is that it was a reliable and strong tank for the time
@@alexandrosmandilaras but it was one of the weaker tanks
@@AmazonArrow1570 at its time of introduction it was one of if not the best tanks in the world it was perfect for American industry and easy to ship across the world, while because Germany was fighting in Europe they could make heavy tanks with powerfull guns. The firefly and easy 8 where the best counters to the heavy german vehicles whilst still being less heavy than a heavy tank. So yes but actually no.
@AmazonArrow1570 surprisingly, it has the same armor as a Tiger 1 (because of the angle), it was just the simple fact that the Germans excelled at cannon making.

@@alexandrosmandilaras and yet still had the highest survival rate
Sherman was a well designed tank and succeeded greatly at what it was designed for. It wasn't designed to go toe to toe with a tiger. It was designed to get a big gun to troops when and where they needed it.
Hey kumpel! If it was a tin can as you said, why were Generals in the SS and Wehrmacht so heis to get their hands on it. Some commanders liked it more as Beute Panzer then the Panther or T34? Hmm
Crew be like:Damn,i hate these wirbelwinds!💀
I agree. Luftwaffa didn't attack ground forces multiple times. Once and done. P47 38 and aircobras they went for seconds many times and marine pilots loved it. I'd say it was hit by an 88 and that's the hole in the turret. The rest looks like armor piercing 50 cal. Just my opinion
Most of the damage seen was made post war as a result of target practice with modern anti-tank weapons. Watch my new video telling the story of this Sherman here: th-cam.com/video/AMneIVihAjM/w-d-xo.html

My grandfather was a tank mechanic in WWII - 20th A.D.
He was there for the liberation of Dachau . These little tanks had gusto .
Yes, these were mean little tanks indeed. Although if you've seen one in person, they're still pretty imposing. Glad your grandfather knew what he was talking about, because usually a mechanic is the worst place to look for insight on what a tank was like, because they ONLY see the broken down or shot up ones.

Fun fact: the german word "panzer" translates to "armor" or "tank" in english. So that explains why it has the words "m4 sherman panzer" in the sign.
