M4A2 Sherman III Duplex Drive

[b]1944 - USA M4A2 Sherman III Duplex Drive[/b]
Armament: 1 - 75mm gun
2 - 0.3" MG
Engine 2 - GM 6-71 Diesels, 410 hp
Speed; 25 mph
4 knots in water
Range: 149 miles

The Sherman was equipped with canvas screens that
were raised to give it buoyancy in water. The tank
was propelled in water by two propellers mounted in
the rear, hence, the term Duplex Drive. They were
used on D-Day and later in the Rhine crossing.
