There was an account of a king tiger shell going through a sherman’s Gun mantlet, lower part of the gun breach, the engine compartment bulkhead, the engine block, exit through the back of the Sherman, going through an earthen berm, and penetrating the transmission case and the transmission of another Sherman behind it.
I've heard Sherman tanks were called "Tommy Cookers" by the Germans for their habit of catching fire.
Like I said, someone needs to read the Roommate Agreement and sing Soft Kitty to me. Maybe I'll hang out with Stewart at his comic book store.
