October 23rd ,1943  Captain Reynolds of Tank Gp 7 could not believe it, Goering Commander and Chief of the Luftwaffe had a Panzer Force. Major Rhett told Him not only was it true but it was a Strong Force and was in the way of getting to where Command wanted Reynolds and the rest of the Armor. Captain Reynolds had already seen enough Shermans destroyed by the German Panzers especially the Panther and Tiger a level up on Allied tanks and the Mark 4's in a capable Commanders hands every bit as effective. At this point in the War Reynolds had realized propaganda by Allied Command on the Sherman had been blown out of porportion, it clearly did not stand up to German tanks. So more American tanks would litter the Battleground to get to where Command ordered. Captain Reynolds just hoped His tank would not be one of them.
