Destroyed WW2 M4 Sherman Tank with bullet holes at the Technology Museum in Sinsheim Germany 

It was probably used for target practice on the range, based on the number of penetrations.

turret crews: tis but a scratch *turns yellow*

Bro forgot to research additional armor💀

For anyone wondering why it say “M4 Sherman Panzer” panzer means tank in German and this museum is in Germany

“THE GUNNER, HE’S UNCONSCIOUS”

This looks like an original cast-hull Sherman. It has the 75mm turret, VVSS and everything. Damn shame it was probably used as for target practice.

At launch, this shell had a "piper", an explosive grenade detonated already in the barrel. The tank was then used for target practice for a few years. Source: The sign on the tank.

A few months back, i brought my grandpa to a military museum near a base he used to be stationed at as a armored support company. Anyways we walk trough the museum and stumble upon an absolutely DEMOLISHED Sherman wreck, i audibly go _Dang what happened to this one?_ when my grandpa nonchalantly replies: _Ah thats the target i learned to shoot the centurion with!_ as he pointed at one of the gaping holes in the front plate. Needless to say i laughed my *ss off 😂😂

The german founders at the museum: yo sorry bout that😅

“I know what’s wrong with it, it ain’t got no gas in it”

Love the anti rust paint on the bullet marks.😊

Someone aimed from the barrel, def a WarThunder player Edit: *Aimed for the barrel*

2.3k comments and they each have a reply from the uploader, that’s awesome. Wishing you a great day!

Sherman: 😊 Panzer: 😎 Sherman Panzer: 💀

Museum of Sinsheim is relatively close to me, the arsenal they have on display is awesome! Including a concorde and a TU-144 mounted on the roof of the museum (you can walk into them) Also Hitlers armored mercedes 6-wheel is there

those are some strong paintballs

This tank is the definition of “I’ve seen some shit”

"Its Just a little Scratch" The Scratch:

If anyones wondering why the Sherman is labeled “Panzer“ on the sign, its just German for “Tank“ - German Speaker Edit: I’m aware that it means armor, I think my thoughts blended posting this, back then a common term for tanks and other heavy armored vehicles was ”Armor“, which is what a few people have said, anyway, just go on Google translate. It means armor and tank

Where dead men lies I'm paralyzed, my brothers' eyes are gone And he shall be buried here, nameless marks his grave

There's a Sherman in Belfort, France. It has a just a small hole in the gear box but it was a 75mm from a Panther that went straight through and killed the driver.

One thing that’s always amazing to me is how crude even the best made stuff was back then vs now. When I was a kid my first exposure to vintage war machines was in miniature and the model biz didn’t have the tech to represent such imperfections until like thr last 15 years or so especially on airplanes with their warping of riveted plates. Eventually my folks took me to war museums at my request. They supported this and were grateful I had no interest in amusement parks. I was shocked by how crude the assembly of these things what they accomplished even more impressive.

THE RED FILAMENTS MAKE A GREAT MUSEUM EFFECT 👍👍👍

The museum is fantastic. Visited there when stationed in Stuttgart, Germany.

Commander: "Gunner are you ok ? " Gunner : "die"

POV: Sabaton suddenly plays when you turn an object show into a WAR in War Thunder

The tank of the guy who activated boosters in Warthunder:

That should be repaired by the German government, restored with all brand new engine and parts - and then shipped to me as reparations or something. Whatever - I just want a tank. Thanks.

All notice the Sherman only but no one appreciate the painter for marking all those bullet ricochet 😂

Sherman:- Plastic + wood + concrete. Tiger:- Double plated heaviest steel armour.

For all you people who dont speak german out there, no the sign did not mean that the M4 Sherman was a Panzer model. Panzer means tank in German

"its just a dent" The dent:

Mute button goes hard.

Actually insane to think that this thing was more effective overall than the king tiger

She took a hell alot of beating ! Glad to see her on a good resting place never to get forgotten.

Me casually rushing with a sherman:

This Sherman tank model was a freaking bathtub. I can't still believe that men were sent to war in this shit.

"Shell Shattered"

Sabaton is my life bro

Turret gunner : i think i am fine 💀

M4A1, cast hull with radial gas engine. My second favorite model they made, first being the M4A2.

Most of those arent bullet holes they are M72 rocket training rounds they are about 30mm in diameter and hit but dont make the big hollywood explosions

I mean, wrong war for the song, but still cool

M4? Nah nah its M4A1 sherman

"I didnt hear no bell"

Increíble que los Panzer alemanes se los comían vivos !

That tank is an original state from battle.. We have several tanks of many kinds on the militery range near me and they are absolutely distroyed😁👌❤️🇬🇧🪓

I've been to sinsheim a couple times. You should totaly go there if you've got a chance. Lots of planes, tanks, cars n other cool stuff there

I was confused for a second when it was called a sherman panzer until i remembered that panzer means tank…

"PANZER ELITES NEVER RETREAT, GHOST DIVISION"

Years ago, I was inside that salvaged Sherman Tank,I knew the person involved who restored it.

Looks pretty gpod for target practice. Some of those shermans were left as little more than a hull on the battlefield. Scary stuff

A tank with a catastrophic reputation for the life of its crew.

Great War by Sabaton

"they've hit our commander WE CANT SEE WHATS GOING ON"

Was in Sinsheim once, they had some space stuff in the cinema as well. Really gotta go there again, one visit is by far not enough to see and fully comprehend everything they got there in one trip

Imagine being a tank crew and getting hit that many times

Bro didn’t let anything stop him

Sherman's a THIRD generation tank. Nowhere near "one of the first."

I like how they hi-lighted the damage with red to really show what was affected.

It looks like a shell went in through the corner and exited the turret. It's a hard lesson that the high ground is not always better.

This hurts to watch

I don’t care how much armor thickness you have, I can’t imagine you get too use to trusting the sound of bullets slapping the side of your tank, you know you’re waiting for that one to penetrate

Bro that plane pilot got a free new lookout

Sherman stands today just like a symbol of bravery👈☝👌💪✌👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Слава героям той войны, они положили жизни и за наше будущее.

“CREW INCAPACITATED... CREW INCAPACITATED!!!”

That bagger probably put up one hell of a fight

it took a long time for the german commander to remeber his tiger has a 88mm gun

Best job I ever had!

M4 Sherman😮

They also have a jagdpanther tank that has holes through it. I've sat inside it and seen all the shrapnel marks inside.

Nem assim as pessoas da atualidade não se tocam que Guerras são um péssimo negócio !!!!

“That’s actually an M4A1.”-🤓

I remember seeing this tank in person too! It's been long since I saw it tho, and I forgot about it completely, until now

It went from “it looks fine” to “Jesus Christ!!” very quickly

R3:

This is what a true warrior looks like they wear their scars with pride

Love the red paint to accent the hits to make identification even easier its super cool to see this

I was there, in the summer 2023. Germany museum, u can see the cars, trains, more cars and ww2 stufs and TANKS

A number of things I can pick up from this: 1. This tank was used for target practice and was NOT lost on the battlefield. 2. The holes on it are of uniform (to a degree) and circular, hinting it was not shrapnel from explosives but bullets (most likely from a .50 or larger like shoulder launched AT practice rounds) 3. The American markings on the tank along with the placard suggest that this tank was used for target practice by West Germany 4. The side with the missing road wheels seems to have been subjected to explosives / AT rounds suggested by the large, torn away radio compartment and the missing road wheels. 5. A solid third of the comment section are Wehraboos who think that "GeRMaNy wOULd haVe woN iF thEy PRodUcEd mOre TIgeRs"

Might be a testing tank or not, but based on the holes it might be hit by 20mm or 30mm AA gun, and the large hole at the back might be a Pak 43 or 88mm

i want someone to go over this and explain how each hole would effect the tank and crew

The crew must’ve been having a bad time being in that tank.

Cool... we have a Sherman moulded hull here in NZ in a museum 👍🇳🇿

Can someone fill me in on why the placard labels the sherman as an "M4 Sherman Panzer?" I'm a little confused.

I don't know this for certain, but I think this is a training tank with non hardened armor. On normal armor steel bullets wouldn't go this deep.

The video was so ridiculously fast i never had time to focus on any of the tank damage .

Maybe he didn't have such a good day, but you should have seen what his brothers did to the other guy 🤔

"Left track is broken!" from WT is what this makes me think of.

The red paint makes it seem like a living creature that was shot at. Makes it look like flesh.

От пуль только и защищал...Горел как спичка!

Amazing how perfectly round the last round on the front of tank is… wow

Couldn’t imagine what it sounded like in that.

Absolutely love how they highlighted every single area of damage

The crew probably turned orange, idk if those really killed it
