PEEK INSIDE WRECKED SHERMAN TANK IN NORMANDY A quick look inside one of the US M4 Sherman tanks in the dunes at Biville, Normandy. This Sherman - featuring a 76mm gun - has a serial number of 38799 which reveals it to be an M4A1 built by the Pressed Steel Car Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and one of over 8,000 constructed during WW2. It’s one of a handful of armoured vehicles in the dunes on the west coast of the Cotentin peninsula. It’s located on the site of a former French firing range

It wasn’t the biggest, the fastest, or the most armored—but the M4 Sherman was everywhere. Rolling across the battlefields of North Africa, thundering through the hedgerows of Normandy, and charging into the heart of Germany, the Sherman became the steel fist of the Allied advance in World War II. #ww2 #military | The War Rooms
