The heavier German tanks broke down too much to be as effective as they could've been.  Bad welds and poorer and poorer steel didn't help, either.

Their guns and sights were really good, though.  The M26 eclipsed everything at war's end, though.  You know the Germans would've been painting their cross on them and using them against us.

Yeah, the 90mm gun was comparable to the 88mm gun in many ways. the biggest issue with the Pershing was it's weight and the size of bridges in Europe..........but it stomped the crap out of T-34s in Korea

Good vid. Triggernometry guys are good interviewers and let him talk.  Haidt also brought up differences between boys and girls (imagine that!) as well as solutions (keep the kids off phones/social media, but do it as a group and make sure schools do it). I also liked that he brought up Abigail Schrier who wrote about social contagian and therapy culture ruining kids.  Said they disagree about phones vs adult therapists, but it's both he said.
