7th Armored
Division - Rhine Western Bank, March 1945. |
8th Tank Battalion,
4th Armored Division - Normandy, France, Summer 1944. |
The single
prototype tank built by Chrysler (Detroit Tank Arsenal) in the summer
of 1944 that had a 90mm gun T26 turret mounted on an M4(105) chassis.
The T26 Pershing and M4 Sherman tanks had the same turret ring.
The project was canceled by the Ordnance Dept. after it became apparent
that this tank still needed to be tested, would not likely arrive
in the combat theater any sooner than the T26 tank, and would most
likely interfere with the T26 production effort. |
