He is an American study on hits on German vehicles. 
 


 
"It is evident from this study that either the American 75-mm gun or the 76-mm gun is capable of destroying any German tank." 

Here are some interesting pages from the report. Probably add more later. 
 
Summary
 
Basic Breakdown of Causes of Tank Losses
 
Average Range of Gunfire/Panzerfausts
 
Placement of Gunfire Hits
 
Caliber of Enemy Gunfire(most 8.8 cm are actually misidentified 7.5 cm, which is noted later in the report)
 
Mine/Tank Exchange Rate
 
Crew Casualties by Position
 
Sampling of Tank Losses 
 
 
Causes of Vehicles Destroyed v. Vehicle Disabled
 
  Distribution of Gunfire Hits(Aspect)

I'm going to dedicate a topic to one of the world's most successful organisms, the ant. 
 

This is the Argentine Ant(Linepithema humile) which has former invasive "supercolonies" on multiple continents. It amazes me that some of the invasive ants have formed supercolonies, it seems like a parallel to human city-states aligning with one another to form countries.

There are more traits that seemingly connect ants with humans. Ants are one of the few creatures to wage wars, against other ants and against other species outside the ant family such as termites. The way ants conduct war is also quite sophisticated as they seem to have evolved a way of fighting which looks like they expend weaker forces while concentrating stronger individual ants which are spared. All this without any real command structure. 
 
I'm not going to go further into details but here are other interesting ant-stuff.
Slavery of particular ant species by others Complex inter-species relations which are blurred between parasitism, commensalism, and mutualism.  Utilization of agriculture and farming Different caste system, but seeming equality(even with the queen, which can be ousted by workers or other queens). In a way you can describe ants as Marxist.  Differences in defense mechanisms among species, some that are really strange such as suicidal bombing, deadly venom, and jaws that can reach 230 kmh. The "hive mind" decision making. Possible ability to learn en masse.  The suspected biomass of the ant family is to be close to the world's human biomass. However collecting data for this is rather tedious as measuring all the dead ants falling out of an insecticide fogged tree in the rainforest.  Some ants have been documented risking their own lives in order to save other ants from antlions, which is rather altruistic of them. Wouldn't expect that from a eusocial species.   
I have personally documented 6 different species of ant on my property, 2 of which I believe are invasive(RIFA & Argentine).
