kept the 75 as a soft target gun when we didn't know what the Tiger
or Panther would do to what we had. When the war started we fought
against panzer 3 and 4 tanks, then the Tiger. It took Kasserine
pass to wake us up to the reality that the Tiger could kill
shermans with little consequence.The_Chieftain: It wasn't doctrine, it was just that there were so damned
many of them already built and waiting to be used. If there were
doctrinal issues, they wouldn't have made the decision in late 43
to stop building them. (Click the link to the article I referenced
in this article) i don't believe there was a Tiger within
miles of Kasserine pass. You were looking at PzIVs and M13s.
