Artist's Description
The M4 Sherman was the primary tank of allied forces in World War II. Originally equipped with a 75mm gun, the Sherman was a match for German armor early in the war. Against the more advanced Tiger and Panther tanks however, the Sherman was outgunned.

Mark, great piece, and great description. Your realism brings the history to life! Also, the Sherman, (like the American soldier) was highly adaptable; wasn't it modified to cut through hedges in Normandy? It was this adaptability and ingenuity that helped win the war against the Germans.
