Spare what? It's obvious that the Sherman was almost competely engulfed in flames. You gotta wonder if they were later put in this position or is this where they both died in the heat of battle. The M10 is actually behind the sherman, with the turret of the sherman pointing to the rear. the front of the M10 is riddled with bullet holes. If only they could talk to us....

I think these tanks are on a French military reservation and have been used as targets. That is why they are still there. There are other video's showing other tanks and armored vehicles on French military ranges. It is also why there are numerous penetrations by different caliber weapons. Given a hit in the right spot to set of the ammo the standard German 75mm anti tank gun could take out either of these with one shot.

Honestly...I don't think this is a sherman....no coaxial machine gun...turret shape is wrong...and what looks like bolted on armor...it looks like a Czek tank to me.

@cbff33

Well, if you look closely, they are both burnt, and they are both stripped... I think they were stripped after the battle, and then the hull was disposed of... M10s and Shermans were pretty disposable....

With the high price of scrap right now all I could see while watching this vid were dollar signs.

Interesting the penetrating rounds seem to have been fired at the driver. That's one of those "tricks" if you will we don't think about when considering WWII. Need to kill a tank with an underpowered weapon, take out the driver..

@drglibrl Most explosives used at that time were water soluble. It rains a lot in northwest Europe. Panzerfausts were in high demand, not likely to be left their by either US or German soldiers.

@SWOLFOOI I would also note that if they burned, the armor would be compromised, so the hatches, guns and other parts would not have been salvaged. I suggest that some of the crew in both survived. The Russians were shipped 4000 Shermans and their operators seem to have preferred them to the T-34. The match to the Sherman's shot traps was poor armor quality control in T-34 and Panther.

The many brave men who died may not be of French blood, but She is of theirs.
