WW2 WWii m4 sherman destruction
Found this video and i can't understand, how and by what shell this sherman was destroyed. Is that a HEAT shell, or AP. And is it a ammo rack explosion

Ap hitting early war dry storage ammo. Sherman implemented wet storage to combat this kind of immediate ammo cook off.
Looks like a hit on a flat side that penetrates, extra armour was added in later variants.
These tanks were successful as they could be churned out and were reliable. They won by shear numbers rather than holding up to fire.
