In the movie "To Hell and Back" there is a scene where a tank commander is complaining to the ground pounders troops about how thin the armor is on his Sherman compared to a Panzer or a Tiger tank...

One of Audie Murphy's buddies replies..."Yeah?....well....just how thick do you think this GI shirt is?"

In his book "War as I knew it" Gen. Patton described seeing his troops adding armour and sandbags to their vehicles and described it as being "the stupidest thing he ever saw" and ordered all of it removed.
