Pocom http://www.3ad.com/history/wwll/pool...rmor.myths.htm it’s poorly researched and you copy and pasted it all including the crap at the end.
Myth #1 it’s a well-known fact that the Tiger was in development before the war and also before the Germans had encountered either the T34 or KV1
Myth #2 one reason the Germans didn’t want to build a tank that looked like the T34 was very obvious their own troops would have great difficulty recognising who the tank belonged to, a very good example was the US troops wearing camouflage in Normandy with the vast amount of blue on blue incidents the uniforms had to be withdrawn.
Myth #3 your right the Tiger series didn’t have any influence on post war designs, by the way what is the weight of an Abrams, no one used thick armour and no one has ever used a gun as lethal as the 88L71, Tiger II was not developed to be any kind of sports car so wouldn’t bother chasing a Sherman for that they would just use the gun to destroy the Sherman then move onto the next target, I also don’t recall a commander of a Tiger by the name of Porsche.
IS3 was so unreliable they made Elefant look reliable, fact IS3 is the most common gate guard of Russian armour all brand new.
Load of bollocks #3 in this literal crap it states “Wittmann appears to have been killed in a series of Allied air raids called Operation Totalize; he never had a chance to fight back, and his company and his tank were destroyed in the bombing.” Absolute Bollocks, Wittmann was killed either by Canadians or British Firefly not Bombers, this is also a well-known fact.
Pool, I read this a few years back and took it for what it was pure propaganda Hollywood crap http://www.3ad.com/history/wwll/pool...troduction.htm
Wittmann and other German commanders are very often accused of running up huge cricket runs in Russia over a 2-3 year period in this case Wittmann managed 138 kills in various tanks not just the Tiger, Otto Carious managed over 150 mostly in a Tiger but these men have been accused of exaggeration or they were in a Tiger fighting weaker tanks.
Pool, landed in Normandy in June and was knocked out 3 months latter fighting in several Shermans all of which were shot from under him, Pool has been credited with over 258 kill he managed during his 83 days in Europe in which he had a total of 21 engagement’s in which he averaged 12.28 kills, killed 47.6 people and took 11.9 POW’s per engagement to say this is a truly remarkable achievement is an understatement quite how he knew how many he had killed is amazing as even the Germans didn’t record this but what is interesting is the total number killed combined with the POW’s is equivalent to 258 kills so this means that either all perished or were captured truly amazing and all from 1 man, yet more propaganda it’s claimed that he liked to stalk Panthers most of which were in the British sector so he must have single headedly destroyed all in the US sector, the final part that made me laugh at this fairy-tale was Pool lead from the front in all his engagement’s this in itself was suicide in a Sherman as any gun the Germans possessed would easily destroy a Sherman from over 1000 meters, yet on his last engagement he was on the flank when he was knocked out.
83 days in Europe, 21 engagements’, over 258 kills, killed over 1000 and taken over 250 POW’s
Pure fantasy Pool destroyed no more than 12 German Panzers far short of the Hollywood script claimed, the Allied top ace was a Canadian Capitan with 25 or there about kills.

All of the stuff on this site reminds me of “Cold War” Communist propaganda I see where the writers ended up
