Beschreibung
Considered one of the most significant tanks of World War II, the Sherman also soon became the backbone of the British armored forces. After the defeats suffered in Africa by British troops in 1942, President Roosevelt pledged to provide sufficient numbers of tanks to the British ally. By the end of the conflict, the Sherman was mainly used as a medium tank, recovery vehicle and in various specialized roles.
In this second volume, we will focus on Shermans in service with British, Commonwealth, and also Polish, French, and Russian forces. However, the many specialized variants, such as cranes, engineer vehicles, self-propelled artillery vehicles, or tank destroyers, based on the Sherman chassis, will not be covered. Instead, these will be the subject of the third and final volume devoted to the Sherman dossier!
