Top Comments of this video!! :3
Couple corrections here:
1. Shermanâs were not obsolete as revisionist history makes them out to be. They were less powerful, but more than capable to penetrate the armor of a Tiger or even Panther V by 1944. it does ultimately depend on the variant though. The early Shermanâs were excellent in North Africa, but were very much outclassed by the Tigers at this time. Thankfully very few Tigers were in Africa or the western front in general.
2. The Allied Air Force was legit superior, however, they very seldom ever hit tanks due to the small size (compared to the fast speed the planes approach in). Instead, the Allied air forces focused more heavily on wiping out reinforcing tanks still on the railway or hampering German logistics entirely. The P-47 was amazing with this! The Mosquitoes were also excellent in the African theatre.

This video more addresses the purpose and use of panther turret bunkers and less the life inside one of these.
Sure there are some beds that can fold up, there's a stove, it's probably cramped though there's some storage space and an escape way. You get into combat like you're suppose to.
But what of the actual life inside one of these things? What shifts do the soldiers take, do they sit and guard an area inside the bunker or is there an outside area they chill at with other crews until the enemy is spotted and then run to their bunker? What's the food and water situation? How do they communicate to those outside of the bunker, whether directly outside or distant? Toilets? From morning to night, what do they do?

interestingly there seems to be an opportunity that was overlooked:
the thickness of a tanks armour was limited by weight constraints, which in turn come from the mobility requirements of a tank
a stationary tank turret is not mobile, the weight rests on an immobile under-construction.
it would have been possible to up-armour such turrets. a lot.
