"All I can say about the Pershings is 'too few and too late!'  Where were they when we were slugging it out head to head with Panthers and Tigers in those early M-4s?  I knew a lot of tankers who would still be around today if we had something as good as a Pershing from the start."

" I was issued a greatcoat left over from the Great War, an entrenching tool and a panzerfaust.  With these, I was expected to defend the Fatherland at all costs.  The greatcoat was moth-eaten, the entrenching tool had a broken handle and the panzerfaust  rocket simply bounced off the front of the Pershing tank."

Heinz Altmann, Volkssturm.
