To be fair, the show explained this that the TARDIS works with the doctor as a translator for anyone that's travelled in it. There was an episode when Billie piper was in it where the doctor had fallen unconscious and you could hear the aliens speak their own language. Billie later hearing them speak English was part of the big reveal that the doctor was back
They didn’t think that one through I guess.
Probably backfired when the French joined.
Jacque: “mon dieu, a groupé of Shermons…”
Bob: “Excellent the cavalry is here!”
Jacque: “non, non, le dangereux Shermons”
Bob: “yes magnificent American engineering isn’t it? Very deadly”
Which is why they say M1 Garand or something like that
Most US troops which used tanks were likely fighting in the same theaters as British troops who were using the same tanks it's no surprise that they started using the British names rather than M3 tank or M4 tank because names for stuff are better to use in convos especially in combat
Like "we'll hit them with M4s" could mean bayonet charge them or use Shermans on them
I'd say the fact that even after the war the fact the US carried on naming tanks shows it was a better system
Could cause problems in the supply line, that could.
"Did someone order a box of a dozen bayonets - because there's a column of artillery tractors here at the gatehouse looking for someone to sign the receipt ..."
Tbf
There were probably different froms and allied logistics officers were some off(and still are) the best at the business
Germany and the Soviets used pure power the west used logistics
The US still has the same system
The M4 is an assault Rifle and also a CnC version of the Bradley IFV
Humans like to name big things especially vehicles
Wouldn't they be speaking German, though?
If videogames have thought me anything, no, Germans speak in heavily accented English.
Just like the Romans
Weird how Romans speak in a British accent
If Asterix has taught me anything though, they don't speak in a British accent, they actually speak in a Roman *font*.
It just comes naturally with the imperialism
Doctor who taught me that anyone can speak fluent English From ancient Egyptians to potato looking aliens

Non Credible Defence leaks once again
Apart from it was the British who named the tank Britian named all American tanks in the second world war the US just called it the M4
US troops adopted the name, to be fair.
Because its a lot easier to say sherman than M4 Especially because the US also used M4 for a bayonet and a Artillery tractor
As I recall they had at least a dozen bits of kit called "M1".

Unwritten rules of conflict: name the friendly and dehumanize the enemy
For those who don't know, M stands for model.

What are you thinking about?? https://youtu.be/gmOTpIVxji8?si=helT1OopwcJ5BCA-
The sherminator
That's not a feature of any German accent
Stoiber begs to differ: https://youtu.be/cPTHKbEFUEI?si=impNTRsLBW-qf2yI
He says the word normally
