The first battle of the M4 Sherman

On October 23, 1942, the M4 Sherman medium tank first saw combat in the North African campaign, at the Second Battle of El Alamein. The British were the first to receive these American vehicles to use them against Rommel's Afrika Korps.

Although the Sherman was inferior in armor protection and firepower to the later German Tiger Is and Panthers, its ease of production and reliability played a key role in the Allied victory. The first combat results in Africa proved that the M4 would become one of the main tanks of the Second World War.
