Anyone who could drive a stick car could drive a Sherman tank. Seriously. Not everyone can drive a Tiger tank. It's incredibly complex. Really, really is. And that comes with a whole host of problems. And of course, you don't have the numbers. You don't have the numbers. You know, you've got 1,347 of them. You've got 492 King Tigers, which are even bigger.

And, you know, at a time where you are really short of fuel, you're really short of absolutely everything. And those shells are huge, and they're harder to manhandle. And weird little things that the Germans do, you know, for all their design genius, the loader is always on the right-hand side. Now, in the 1920s and 19-teens and 30s, children were taught to be right-handed.

You weren't allowed to be left-handed. So you were right-handed. So you want to be on the left-hand side of the gun, so you can take the shell from your right and swivel it into the breech from your right side. But the loader in a Yank Panther or a Panther or a Tiger is always on the right-hand side of the bridge, which is ergonomically makes no sense whatsoever. Why do they do this?
