P-47/51 deflection shots into the belly of the German tanks, reality or fiction? by [email protected]
Saw this mentioned several times. Sounds somewhat implausible. A whole lot implausible actually. Was this a common practice, an isolated incident blown out of proportions or a myth? Is there an approximate tally of German heavy armor (Pz IV and up) destroyed by the western allies attack planes?
