      As a serious question, can someone tell what the purpose of those big two ...hm...things... is you can see in the following pic on the tank?



      Because I wondered about that when I saw a similar Sherman in one episode of Band of Brothers recently....The "normal" shermans didn't seem to have them, so I suspect it has something to do with the landing in the Normandy? But I think some early (WWI) tanks have also such things....

        Air intake and exhaust for amphibious operations?

          notyoueither is correct. Looks like air vents or more likely, exhaust pipes.

                Those are 'fart vents'. Used when one or more crew is truly flatulant. In this case both the driver and gunner are deadly as it has the duel 'rip stacks'.

                              Leo2, the first models, look really awful. Their turret armor isn't sloped at all, for once.
