Description
During WWII, the primary tank used by the United, was the Sherman M4. The tank
was provided to Russia via the Lend-Lease Act, which supplied the United
Kingdom, the Soviet Union, China, France and other allied nations with weapons
and military vehicles in return for military bases. In late 1942, the first
Sherman tanks sent to Russia were equipped with 75mm guns. Later versions sent
in 1944, were armed with 52 caliber 76mm guns. The Russians commended these
vehicles reliability and power, which was an asset to them in the Battle of
Berlin.
