@@spencerherold4895 It was the advanced model of Sherman used near the end of the war. Nicknamed the "Easy 8", it had similar armour and improved mobility over the original M4 variant. They were often equipped with the long barrel 76mm, giving them improved anti tank capabilities.

When soldiers saw tanks for the first time, they probably thought they were fighting a monster.

[@kairngodofbelligerence6163]

They often did

[@venus1333]

Why? You'd have to be a moron to think a tank was a monster. It was the early 20th century, automobiles were already relatively common and trains had been around for centuries. What kind of idiot would look at all the widely available self-propelled metal vehicles they grew up around, but then immediately assume that another self-propelled vehicle with more metal and a gun strapped to it was supernatural? Come on. They lived with these: external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fxk2b5Yn9Bww%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg&f=1&nofb=1 so do you really think they couldn't at least understand what these: tank100.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/1521-A6-Schneider.jpg were? For the record, I absolutely loathe this arrogant dismissal of the intelligence of past civilisations. That anybody born before the modern age was braindead. You might as well say people from the year 2000 would consider you a wizard because you had an iPhone.

[@foundationsoversight8479]

@@venus1333 You do realize the Germans actually thought these new vehicles were monsters, right?

[@venus1333]

@@foundationsoversight8479 I’ve read the eyewitness accounts. They compare them metaphorically to monsters but none of them actually seemed to believe tanks were a supernatural thing. He describes them as ‘limping’ something tanks clearly can’t do which indicates he’s just using personification and metaphors to get his point across. He later calls them machines. So just because they used metaphors in the same way a modern person would describe a large and powerful car doesn’t mean they thought the tanks were actual, literal monster.

[@khaisinclair2798]

Imagine you're one of the field commanders of the German trenches when you're here. All memes aside; you got news of some broken codes indicating the plans for a mechanized water container, and you see the MK 1s advancing. It's pretty large, at first, and you seem uncertain... in the smoke and dust of the Artillery, you can only make out it's silhouette. The men start shouting things of suspicion and fear, but you order your men to hold..... something's not right. Just what is it that the British are trying to pull? And then, BOOM! The sound of naval guns echo with thunder and doom. Out of the corner of your eye, just as you take cover; you watch as one of your light pillboxes gets blown to smithereens; one of your strongest fortifications, annihilated like it was nothing... The machine gun fire echos with even louder wrath and crossfire, as you realize it sounds almost like MG37s are advancing... Everyone ducks out of instinct, rushing to their positions. Sargeants keep yelling over the artillery "What are your orders? SIR! What are your orders?!!" ... You remain silent. You don't know what to say. The meetings, the assessment of your resources; nothing prepared you for THIS... You don't know what to do. You really don't. The Sargeants meet eyes with you; they sense what's going on in your head. It finally hits the both of you... just how fucked you and your men are. The Sargeants grit their teeth, and they move out in the Trenches; mentally preparing themselves to resist to the very end, and throw everything they got at these new "Tanks". Hell has come to your doorstep. You're covered in mud, and not at all prepared for Guests. And it's knock.. is that of the might of the British Navy.

[@pinetorch7876]

[@syvysarvida5164]

"1914. How peculiar that a single bullet can trigger a chain of events that would change the world forever. Nations will be torn apart, Empires will fall and an entire continent will be set ablaze in the wake of this event. Allies has a triggered in a chain reaction, resulting in a war that sweeps across Europe like a merciless plague. Armies will destroy the land, soldiers dig endless trenches and the shells will leave scars on earth for generations to come. We will also see the birth of some of the most devastating inventions mankind has ever conceived. Born in factories, delivered by engineers, immune to the bullets of the regular soldier, unbothered by the burners of the land... the tank. The future of warfare."
