The American M10 was produced in greater numbers than any other US AFV of its kind. It was the main armament of the US Armys Tank Destroyer battalions, and was also used by the British, who called it the Wolverine. (scanned by HOS Bandit)

M10 Tank Destroyer

The first M26 vehicles arrived in N.W. Europe early in 1945, and were assigned to the 3rd and 9th Armored Divisions, but they saw little action before the end of WW2. 10 tanks assigned to the 3rd Armored Division, however, in one encounter, destroyed 2 Tiger Ones, and 3 Mark IVs from a range of about 1000yds. One or two examples of so-called "Super Pershings" fitted with a (90mm) Tl5E1 high-velocity gun, arrived in Europe at a very late stage of the war. One of these took part in an action near Dessau on April 14, 1945, destroying a King Tiger and a Panther. Some were also deployed to the Pacific, seeing action during the invasion of Okinawa.

Someone hoped that I wasn't getting upset over people correcting my captions, Im not, getting upset that is. The end result is that I am learning something. And if I can't learn it from the captions in the book, I'll learn about it here. I'd rather post an incorrect caption, and be corrected about it, than post a photo with no caption at all! There's enough photos posted on here like that, for me to add to more.

M26 Pershing Heavy Tank

Late in the war, the M10 was supplanted by a developed version, the M36. The M36 mounted a (90mm) gun, still mounted in an open turret. (scanned by HOS Bandit)
