Historical note

The M4A3 Sherman is one of the most famous American tanks of World War II. The improvised HE armor was a reaction by crews to the increased threat of anti-tank weapons, particularly grenades and mines such as the Panzerfaust, as well as mortar shells. Such modifications were frequently seen during battles in France, Belgium, and Germany between 1944 and 1945.
