A couple of points regarding the question regarding NATO essentially adopting German doctrine in any potential war with the Warsaw Pact. I recently read Smelser and Davies book “The Myth of the Eastern Front” where they write about the postwar whitewashing of German military conduct in that campaign undertaken by a number of German officers assisting the US with post war analysis of the type described. Interestingly I had a brief communication regarding a minor error in their book concerning who killed Wittmann. They wrote US Shermans, obviously simultaneously correct and wrong. I actually pointed him to the Director’s video that cited Joe Eakins as an example of a learning organisation. He said he was going to share with his undergrads. secondly, as a teenager I read Sir John Hackett’s 1980s book about how WWIII might unfold. He effectively described the strategy as units writing themselves down in slowing the Warsaw Pact in reaching the Rhine by day X of any war. If they reached the Rhine without running out of resources, the Warsaw Pact won. If NATO denied them, they’d have exhausted them and denied them victory. I was thinking of a career in the RAF at the time, but Hackett said the last RAF combat plane would be gone by day 8. That stuck in my mind and I reviewed my choices. love the Q&A videos btw.

Hello. I've got a question about turret ring sizes. I know the smaller turret ring size of british tanks limited the installation of more powerful guns on British tanks. How then was it possible to install (for example) the powerful guns on the Israili Shermans? Was it the development of the muzzle brake?
