that came from the Brit museum. There is a YouTube showing the Brits hand-cranking it. It does have a starter but can be rotated to crank.

Granted, this was not a King Tiger but big enough. If the stats can be believed (if not skewed like politics) it is said it took 50K Shermans to kill 1300 Tigers. No wonder Germans called them "Ronsons".

There's a guy somewhere in Russia... - Victor Khomenko 06:17:53 10/20/14 (0)
...who makes incredibly detailed copies of old armor. His work is so good, many studios use them. There was a story about him, and what he produced was unbelievable - in some small Russian town... using small gauge sheet metal to make them look totally authentic.

Yes, the Shermans were not exactly the last word in tanks, but still, even the Russians used them - any tank is better than no tank. Some people claim the common wisdom of their gas engines being prone to fires was a gross exaggeration. But of course their armor was no match to Flack 88.
