M3 Half-track - Walkaround - Stavelot.
M3 Half-track - Walkaround - Stavelot.
The M3 half-track was an American armored
personnel carrier half-track
widely used by the Allies during WWII.
It was derived from the M2 half-track car,
when the development of an armored half-track
began with a newordnance directive in 1940 to convert
the M3 Scout Car into a half-track.
It had the same chassis and engine as the M3,
but had larger front wheels and a shorter front clip.
The M3 was tested at Aberdeen Proving Grounds in the summer
of 1941 and was accepted into service soon after.
It would see action in Europe and the Pacific.
and would also see action in Korea after WWII.
the M3 was extensively produced,
with about 15,000 standard M3s and more than 38,000
variant units manufactured.
It would be used by many countries and
is still used by some countries today.
This vehicle has no historical information, it was placed here as a monument to remember the battle for Stavelot,
it was placed on the spot were the first American halftrack
was knocked out by the German attack.
The monument also shows the history of
the trail and the end of Tiger 222
In preparation for the German offensive in the Ardennes which
jumped off 16 December 1944, the 501st SS Heavy Tank Battalion,
equipped with Tiger IIs was attached to the 1st SS Panzer Division and
further attached to the Kampfgruppe
commanded by SS Lieutenant Colonel Jochen Peiper.
One of these Tigers was Number 222.
Number 222 was set on a desprate mission to capture
the bridge over the Ambleve in Stavelot.
But as soon as Tiger 222 came around the house, she was spotted
by the crew of a M10 tank destoryer.
The M10 fired one round wich penetrated the armor on the right side.
The gunner and loader were hit and the rest of the crew panicked
and bailed out of the tank, leaving 222 behind.
