What casualties did the Pershing tank cause?
During WWII, the M26 Pershing gave a good account of itself, being the only American tank that could reliably knock out the German Panther and Tiger tanks at most ranges. However, only about 200 were deployed to Europe and 12 to the Pacific before the war ended. Notable successes of the M26 in WWII included: - Two Tiger I tanks and one Panther tank destroyed at a range of 1,000 yards by 3rd Armored division Pershings (unknown date) - One Tiger I destroyed at 900 yards and two Panzer IVs destroyed at 1,200 yards on February 27, 1945 Battle of Cologne: - One Panther tank destroyed by a Pershing at close range (this was recorded on video and can be watched on YouTube) - Three Tiger Is and a Panzer IV destroyed outside the city Remagen: Pershing tanks lead the way in the capture of that city and in the securing of the Allies' first bridgehead over the Rhine there. Super Pershing: In order to further increase the Pershing's effectiveness, the US developed the prototype "Super-Pershing" model with thicker armor and a more powerful 90 mm gun, which saw combat in Europe. Super Pershing apparently knocked out a few German tanks, but is most famous for destroying a King Tiger (Tiger II) tank, as well as a Panther, in a duel outside Dessau, Germany in April 1945. The real contribution of the M26 was during the Korean War, where it faced the formidable Soviet made T-34-85 (as well as a small number of Josef Stalin II tanks). The T-34-85 was at a disadvantage against the Pershing, as it could not penetrate the Pershing's armor at all but the closest ranges, while the Pershing's gun could not only pierce the T-34's armor, but send a shell completely through the front of the tank and out the back end. - The US estimated its tanks destroyed 97 T-34s in Korea, and a further 18 'probable' kills in 119 tank vs tank battles. - Of this number, Pershings were involved in 32 percent of the battles, and its direct successor, the M46 Patton, was involved in another 10 percent.

Pershing served as a white officer in the US 10th Cavalry (Negro) during the Spanish-American War in 1898. Its said Pershing got his nickname, "Black Jack" for his service with this legendary "buffalo soldier" cavalry unit. Its also said that Pershing's men did most of the heavy lifting and Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders got all the glory at San Juan Hill during the fighting in Cuba in the Spanish-American War. Certainly Roosevelt and Pershing met during the war, and Roosevelt had such high respect for Pershing's abilities that, when he was president, Roosevelt promoted Pershing over more than 800 officers senior to him.
