The Korean War broke out when North Korean troops and accompanying armor suddenly began rolling across the 38th Parallel on 25 June 1950. The M4 Sherman tank played an important part on the US side in the three-year conflict. One such type used was the POA-CWS-H5, a flamethrower version of the M4AE8 Sherman. Mounted in the turret was the original 105mm howitzer, with a coaxial flamethrower gun added alongside it. Flame tanks were developed as a solution to the difficulties of eradicating the enemy holed up in bunkers and caves. The pilot model of the M4 was completed in September 1941, and the Sherman became the most widely produced tank of the war. The M4 Sherman defeated heavier tanks with superior numbers, and by using outflanking tactics to strike thinner enemy flank armor. Shermans also achieved success with progressively upgunned models and by working with tank destroyers. The Sherman tank--named by the British--was fast, maneuverable, mechanically reliable, easy to manufacture, and effective in its infantry support role. It served with the US Army and Marines during World War II, and the US transferred large numbers to the United Kingdom and allied forces of many countries. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
