A Jumbo of 743rd Tank Battalion also knocked out in the same operation. This one was disabled by a ‘friendly’ mine and abandoned by its crew with no casualties. After it was abandoned the Germans concentrated anti-tank fire on it to ensure it wasn’t recoverable.

Knocked Out Jumbo

An M4A3E2 "Jumbo" Sherman with the stock 75mm gun of the 743rd Tank Btn, Altdorf, 27th November 1944. It has sandbags covered with hessian and possible turf on the glacis..  The effectiveness of this applique armor is questionable, certainly against kinetic energy rounds.  But maybe it might have some effectiveness against HEAT...

More is Better!

No date or place mentioned but most likely late war,Netherlands/Belgium or Germany.

 During the construction of the M36 GMC's by Fisher Tank Arsenal in Grand Blanc MI, the first contract for 1400 M10A1 chassis converted into Jackson's rapidly used up the stock of newly built and reconditioned M10A1's that had been released from training units in the U.S.

In order to meet the ever-increasing demand for the better AT performance of the 90mm, 187 units were finished as the M36B1. This mated the M36 GMC turret with 90mm Gun M3 onto the hull of available M4A3 tanks, although the finished product was considered a tank destroyer rather than a tank.
