I went to the source- a friend's father-in-law who was a Sherman driver in WWII, and who was shot out of no less than *three* tanks. He said there was a WHANGGGGG and the tank stopped, at which point he popped the hatch and got out as fast as he could. He *is* a little deaf to this day, which I'm told is a common ailment among tank drivers of that era. --mike edelman medelma@cms.cc.wayne.edu
