M4A1(76) Sherman - Walkaround - Vielsalm.
Originally uploaded on 29 aug. 2015.
Production of the M4A1 tank began in February 1942 after the British placed an order,
it would have had a cast nose, turret and a one-piece cast hull, with a 75mm cannon.
And was manufactured by Lima Locomotive Works.
These tanks were designed on British specs and were fitted with the Continental R-975 air-cooled radial engine.
The M4A1 would be replaced on December 1943, by the M4A1(76)w, which received a more
recent 76 mm M1 main gun,
A new turret with a new commander cupola featuring 6 prismatic vision blocks and
a new modernized Continental R975-C1 engine.
Additional armor plate was often welded in front of the driver and co/driver’s position at the front of the tank and at the side to give them greater protection.
Later version would be identical to the M4A1(76)W, but had the E8 Horizontal Volute Suspension System.
The M4A1(76)w Sherman was a pretty successful vehicle and had an efficient gun.
After the war, it would be used by countries like The Netherlands and France.
This M4A1 76w Sherman was left behind in December, 44 during the
Battle of the bulge. It was probably left behind because of some mechanical failure and then stripped for parts.
It was placed in Vielsalm as a monument to the 7th Armored Division after the war.
The Sherman can be found on the N675 road into Vielsalm.
