      It's always hard to be 100% certain, Germans while certainly not perfect, are known for being detailed and thorough ("Ordnung muß sein"). In this case, the TDB document does state "General Shermann", so I'm inclined to believe this to be accurate.

      9. Panzer was in combat against the US 1st Infantry on 9 August and there were several armor units attached to the division at this time, which included CCA of the 3rd Armored Division. This unit would have Sherman tanks as its main armored component. There were several Tank Destroyer (TD) battalions attached to the 1st ID as well, like 634th TD Battalion. You had forwarded me an after-action-report which stated on 1 TD destroyed and 1 TD captured on that day, so I know this is basis of your theory. I would say definitely possible...but given the specificity of the TDB document listing "General Shermann" and that 9th Panzer had been facing Shermans from the 3rd Armored Division that day, I still believe Most destroyed two Sherman tanks.

      Best,
      John
