Tank on property of
American Legion Brighton Post 80.
So many Sherman variants were developed during the Second World War that it would be impossible to mention them all in any detail here. The M4 Sherman was, without a doubt, the most important Allied tank of the war. It was not, by any means, a perfect fighting machine. Relatively weak-armed and armored, the Sherman was no match in head-to-head fights with its German counterparts, but a well placed rear shot from the Sherman main gun was (usually) enough to knock the adversary out.
The M4 Sherman tank was based on the M3 Lee tank, which it shared many system components with. The Sherman would go on to experience a plethora of modifications (hull changes, removable headlamps, commander's gun station, etc...) as the war moved along. It is reported that between 40,000 and 60,000 Shermans were built during the war, though no one source has a definite production total.
