Thought so to & I can't read German.
A lot of scantly dressed women most likely to get a young mans attention. :)

Thanks for posting those!!!  I highly suggest people read, or at least look at the pictures of the Panther manual.  If a person can't read or decipher a word of German the pictures will help.  The illustrations of how important angle of impact and range are in tank warfare is well said in that manual.  Also, it goes in to details on how to use the mili-radian sight properly.

That is an impressive manual, really.

The Russian manual depicts what I think is the M4A2 reticule, which would be the M71F telescope. I believe our M4A3 would have had the M71G. That belief is backed up by the book M4 Sherman at War by Michael Green and James D. Brown. Note that the range marks include 42 (in hundreds):
