M4 Sherman wreck - Walkaround - Wibrin - Battle of the Bulge.
Originally uploaded Sep 4, 2017.
The M4 Sherman would have had a cast nose, turret and a welded hull, with a 75mm cannon.
It would have had applique armour welded in front of the crew positions and additional armour welded to the sides.
M4 was fitted a Continental R975-C1 or -C4 9 cylinder radial gasoline engine.
The M4 would see service with other countries like Britain, France and Poland.
Production would stop in 1944 after 6748 were produced.
This Sherman belonged to the 84th Infantry Division of the 2nd Armored Division.
Like a lot of other tanks in the area there is a lot of misinformation going around about this vehicle. Some spread by the highly overrated show
Greatest Tank Battles, which this Sherman was shown, in a misleading story about a Sherman which got his gun blown off by a Panther, when in actuality this tank was just knocked out and sabotaged.
This Sherman would be knocked out on January 14th 1945, the crew made it out and before they abandoned the Sherman, fearing it would fall into enemy hands the crew fired the barrel in compressed state destroying the barrel.
(proof of this can be still seen in the Sherman today)
This is not a M4A3 but a M4 with a late model barrel, replacing should be an initiative from the crew sometime in 1944-45.
The Sherman was saved in the 1950 by the local priest or by the major from local scrappers, notice that half of the tank was already cut.
The gun barrel was blown up by the Belgium army after the war to detonate a shell that was stuck in the barrel. ( Source "les témoins d'acier")
Now the tank and surroundings are completely refurbished since 2011.
