“Between 1942 and 1945, the United States manufactured nearly 50,000 M4 Sherman medium tanks. They became the backbone not only of U.S., but also of French and British armored forces. To that figure can be added more than 6,000 M3 Grants and Lees, with their sponson-mounted 75mm cannon, and another 7,000-plus of the M3/M5 Stuart family of light tanks.” (Dennis)
