Resource: WIKIPEDIA The M4 Sherman, formally Medium Tank, M4, was the primary tank used by the United States during World War II. It was also distributed to the Allies via lend lease. Evolved from previous medium and light tanks, it was the first American medium tank with a fully traversing turret for the main gun. The first Shermans were more than adequate to defeat the armor of the German tanks they faced in North Africa.Production of the M4 medium tank exceeded 50,000 units and its chassis served as the basis for numerous other armored vehicles such as tank destroyers, tank retrievers, and self-propelled artillery. In the United Kingdom the M4 was given the name Sherman after Union General William Tecumseh Sherman, following the British practice of naming their American-built tanks after famous American Civil War generals. Subsequently the British name found its way into common use in the US.
Tactics employing the Sherman would have to rely on numbers and mobility when it was often pitted directly against Tiger I and Panther tanks with heavier armor and more powerful guns. Only the Soviet T-34 was produced in larger numbers. America's most advanced tank of the war was the M26 Pershing, but it was developed too late to play a significant role in WWII as the US emphasized production of more Shermans. Post-war tank development would build upon the M26, but the Sherman and its variants continued to be used in training and combat roles in the Korean War and Six-Day War into the late 20th century.[1]
