Sherman Vs M4 Sherman
The Tiger was in general a much more powerful and tough tank to bring down than the M4 Sherman, however this statement does not tell the whole story. Production of the Tiger and the durability was less efficient than the M4 Sherman, which gave the Allies a huge advantage. In addition to the production advantages that the M4 Sherman had over the Tiger, there were several other small factors that contributed to the M4 Shermans effectiveness and resilience. The productions figures are of the United States M4 Sherman are staggering compared to that of the German Tiger.

    Ww1 Unit 2 Research Papers

    There is no doubt that the M1 Garand Rifle is the focal point of the standard U.S. Army infantryman of WWII. However there was another weapon that played just as great a role in achieving victory for the Allies in the war. The M1 Carbine would become a wall in which the fast moving German advance could not disable the supporting elements of the Allied front line. Of all the weapons used in WWII few would think the M1 Carbine would acquire such a elevated reputation and prominent history. Historically, the M1 Carbine is recognized in its production, service, specifications, and use outside of the battlefield.…

    HOW IMPORTANT WERE THE CHANGES IN TECHNOLOGY OVER THE COURSE OF WORLD WAR ONE?

    THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR had shown that this was not always true; the combination of more accurate guns, more powerful artillery and the mobility of railroads made the defenders far stronger than attackers in many battles. European observers scoffed at these lessons, however, and believed that a similar situation would never occur in more civilized Europe. They were to be proved very, very wrong, at the cost of millions of lives.…

    War Of 1812: The Invention Of The Submarine

    At one point in time, weapons of warfare consisted of slingshots and bows and arrows that proved to cause minimal damage to the opposing side. Yet as technological advancements significantly improved and innovative construction techniques surfaced, surprise attacks became more common that often caused a reputable amount of destruction to occur. While initial battles were mostly land-based, the invention of the submarine provided a new source for stealth and power as opponents often found difficulty providing defense and counterattacks to the underwater vessel. Not only do submarines allow for commanding…

    Sherman's march to the Sea

    . . . this differs from European wars in this particular: we are not only fighting hostile armies, but a hostile people, and must make old and young, rich and poor, feel the hard hand of war, as well as their organized armies. I know that this recent movement of mine through Georgia has had a wonderful effect in this respect. Thousands who had been deceived by their lying newspapers to believe that we were being whipped all the time now realize the truth, and have no appetite for a repetition of the same experience. To be sure, Jeff. Davis has his people under pretty good discipline, but I think faith in him is much shaken in Georgia, and before we have done with her South Carolina will not be quite…

    Sherman's March

    The March through Georgia and South Carolina, lead by General William Techumseh Sherman, was the turning point in the American Civil War. There had been heavy fighting in Tennessee and Kentucky. General Sherman requested permission to take a very large army to the Atlantic Ocean through North and South Carolina, Georgia, then turning North back through the Carolinas and then Virginia. He would divide the Confederate states by blazing a path through the middle of them, foraging and destroying anything of military importance to the Confederates. General Sherman's March achieved his goal, from a military standpoint, but the way his army accomplished it, many southerners say was despicable. The most famous portion of Sherman's March was from Atlanta to Savannah, and then to Columbia, SC.…

    Interchangeable Parts

    News of the newly invented machine by Eli Whitney spread across the country and by the war with France, the leading firearms manufactures in America were using the system to produce weapons at an alarming rate. By the 1950s, firearms manufactures around the globe had approved interchangeable parts thanks to Eli Whitney. Whitney proved to be an effective businessman and manager building equipment that enabled the production of large numbers of identical parts quickly and at a low cost. The 10,000 muskets that Whitney had promised in his original contract came in eight years late, but were of superior quality, and he produced 15,000 more the next four years. By the time the War of 1812 broke out between the United States and Great Britain, leading weapons producers like Colt and Smith & Wesson had made the doctrine of interchangeable parts established practice in the American gun industry. The U.S. introduced the first large-scale assembly of weapons with its approval of the…
