Sherman tank Commander 'Farmer, "Cloves we can't stop those Big Nazi tanks their killing Us. Do as I do take Your vehicle and ram them that is the only way, lucky We will knock off a tread before they can turn their guns to destroy Us". The 5 Shermans rushed the 2 King Tigers, the Germans destroyed 3 including Farmer's and Cloves but the other 2 damaged the tracks of the German mammoths. German infantry then destroyed the Shermans killing all the Crews some who had held up their hands to surrender. Word got around quick and German infantry carrying the lethal 'Panzerfaust' was ordered to not venture too far away from the Tiger II's. The Sherman of course was out-classed but still the Army sent them in harms way. An up-graded version with a better gun had shown up in August but still it wasn't a threat against a Tiger 2, or a Tiger or Panther for that matter. And Allied tankers payed a Heavy price trying to get to the rear of the German armor. Now and then though a lucky shot could knock off a tread making the Heavy tanks of the Germans worthless. A lot of immobile Nazi armor blocked many a road during the 'Bulge'.
