✎ Reference Information.
🔎 The M4 Sherman, officially Medium Tank, M4, was the most widely used medium tank by the United States and Western Allies in World War II. The M4 Sherman proved to be reliable, relatively cheap to produce, and available in great numbers. It was also the basis of several other armored fighting vehicles including self-propelled artillery, tank destroyers, and armored recovery vehicles. Tens of thousands were distributed through the Lend-Lease program to the British Commonwealth and Soviet Union.
🔎 The tank was named by the British after the American Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman.
🔎 The M4 Sherman evolved from the M3 Medium Tank, which – for speed of development – had its main armament in a side sponson mount.
🔎 The Army had seven main sub-designations for M4 variants during production: M4, M4A1, M4A2, M4A3, M4A4, M4A5, and M4A6. These designations did not necessarily indicate linear improvement; in that “M4A4” did not indicate it was better than “M4A3”. These sub-types indicated standardized production variations, which were in fact often manufactured concurrently at different locations. The sub-types differed mainly in engines, although the M4A1 differed from the other variants by its fully cast upper hull, with a distinctive rounded appearance. The M4A4 had a longer engine that required a longer hull and more track blocks, and thus the most distinguishing feature of the M4A4 was the wider longitudinal spacing between the bogies. “M4A5” was an administrative placeholder designation for Canadian Ram tank. The M4A6 had a radial diesel engine as well as the elongated chassis of the M4A4, but only 75 of these were ever produced.
🔎 Here are the key moments in the history of the Cobra King tank:

• Was one of the first tanks to break through the German defenses and reach the surrounded American forces in Bastogne.
• Played a key role in the liberation of Bastogne and the Allied victory in the Battle of the Bulge.
