widely outrsnked By both Soviet
and British models OF similar size.
The major general and brigade
oonmisssr both cited to me the
same major failings Of the Gen.
Grant tank. I learned also that in
one recent operation three out Of
four tanks lost were American. II
was q rather sharp blow to Amer
icss industry-conscious egotlsm
TO hear these factual reports but
that Is part Of the price exscted
for United States failure to ere
ate an up-to-date war industry
years ago. That Of course. does
not make It any easier on the
young Russian tanksmen who al
30 have 70 risk their lives in
American Gen. Grants.
I decided to talk with Russians
who fight in our tanks. In an
other sector, many miles away.

BURNS TOO FAST
The major grinned: you know,
the inside of your American tank
is typicaIly American. Its very
comfortable. II has special head
and bump protectors and looks
very handsome. But really. that.
not for war. Your tanks could
be made cheaper without those
dressup touches and be made more
quickly-and for fighting. they
would be every bit AZ good.
pressed the Russian tank corps
major in regard TO the percentage
Of losses Of American tanks here,
as compared TO Soviet and British
tanks. But he clearly didn't want
10 appear 10 be deliberately paint
ing a dark picture. lie merely
replied:
when our tanks take fire.
We can extinEuish u quickly.
or We can even take them
back while burning and then
put out the fire. But the
American Mss 70 up In
flames immediately"
asked: which tanks have you
lost most OF on the Kzhey front ?"
Again the major paused. Then
he answered in another fashion:
For burning. American tanks
have no rival" he said. Our tank
men have more confidence in our
own Soviet tanks than any others.
so far they are not at all anxious
TO get assigned 10 foreign-msds
tanks. But n they must take
them. they prefer the British
tanks"
CAN SAVE REPUTATION
That. too, was what I had heard
on other sectors Of the front.
II seemed only fair for me 10
explain that the first model tank
the United States produced had
TO be sent 10 Russia because ut
that time II was all we had 10
send. improvements on the first
models had only been made after
battle experiences. Now America
was producing better and also
much bigger tanks. Some Of %

WOUNDED IN RATTLE
Have you actually fought in
American tanks?' I asked. That
brought a smile TO Irmakov's face,
Naturally, I lead tanks in at
tack quite often. / have led at
tacks in American tanks Is times.
Once I was wounded in one"
I explained that ! wished the
ma for and his men 10 be complete
ly frank in telling what they con-
sidered good and what they con-
sidered bad about the Ms on the
basis Of their combat experience.
Then Maj. 1rmakov gave me his
findings, item by item. II sounded
exactly like an engineering ex-
pert's report after having given
her the works" on an army testing
ground, plus the fact that these
tests were made with the MAJORS
life at stake.
POINTS IN FAVOR
Lets take the positive first"
Mai. Irmskov said THE American
tanks fire power. in both cannon
and machine guns, Is very good.
It's munition is good and its nose
construction. slanted so as to
richochet the enemy's fire, Is also
very good. This is the model which
you call the MSS. Yes, II has its
cannon down low, on the right side
instead of on top.
Now as to the negative. First.
the tanks turret Is too high. II
makes too much target. The Brit
ish Matilda's turret Is much low
er and it's much better in this
respect.
Second. the American tank
catches fire very easily. Its motor
uses airplane gasoline. It Is not
Diesel-motoed. like our Soviet
tanks, and the fumes from its
gasoline make the whole tank
burn quickly. You can't do any,
