Fury Tank
The Fury Tank, an M4A3E8 Sherman, gained fame from the 2014 movie "Fury" starring Brad Pitt. This WWII tank was a formidable force on the battlefield, featuring a 76mm gun and enhanced suspension. The "Easy Eight" Sherman was known for its durability, firepower, and role in major European operations, symbolizing American armored strength.
Hellcat Tank
The M18 Hellcat was one of the fastest tank destroyers of WWII, reaching speeds up to 60 mph. Equipped with a 76mm gun, it was designed for hit-and-run tactics, exploiting its speed to outmaneuver and outgun heavier German tanks. The Hellcat played a crucial role in the Battle of the Bulge and other key engagements.
Sherman Tank
The M4 Sherman was the workhorse of the Allied armored forces during WWII. Known for its versatility, reliability, and ease of production, the Sherman was equipped with a 75mm or 76mm gun and used in various configurations. Its adaptability and mass production made it a cornerstone of the Allied victory in Europe and the Pacific.
Priest Tank
The M7 Priest was an American self-propelled artillery vehicle named for its pulpit-like machine gun mount. Armed with a 105mm howitzer, the Priest provided crucial artillery support to Allied forces, offering mobility and firepower on the battlefield. It was instrumental in both European and North African campaigns.
Hedge Cutters
Hedge cutters, or "Culin hedgerow cutters," were ingenious devices attached to the front of Sherman tanks during the Normandy campaign. They allowed tanks to break through the dense hedgerows of the French countryside, which had been a significant obstacle. This innovation greatly improved the mobility and effectiveness of Allied armor in the region.
M18 Tank
The M18 Hellcat, also known as the M18 Gun Motor Carriage, was a key American tank destroyer in WWII. Noted for its exceptional speed, it carried a 76mm cannon capable of taking on German armored vehicles. Its design focused on firepower and mobility, making it a deadly and agile opponent in tank battles. The Hellcat’s contribution was vital in various European theater operations.
