Default Re: Armor in Battle

Sorry for the double post, but from page 110 of the pdf:

"We had no armor piercing ammunition so I know a high explosive shell will crack a Mark IV...Our 105-mm gun is good against tanks. I watched one gun hit three tanks coming in a big mass of tanks, approximately thirty tanks, and with high explosive ammunition he collapsed three of them like taking shoeboxes and shoving them flat."

Does this make any sense or did the tanker who wrote this know what kind of ammo the 105s were firing? Later the account says, "Stukas with 500 pound bombs really don't hurt the tanks unless there is a direct hit, except for the dust," so maybe those 105s were firing HEAT, not conventional HE.
