Better known as the Sherman tank, it took a lot of guts to man them as they were prone to burst into flames when hit by fire from the German tanks' superior guns; they were nicknamed "Ronsons" as in Ronson cigarette lighters because of this tendency to light up so easily. They won not by being a superior tank but because they were more reliable and greatly outnumbered the German tanks.
