<p class=ql-align-justify><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Considered one of the most significant tanks of World War II the Sherman also soon became the backbone of the British armored forces. After the defeats suffered in Africa by British troops in 1942 President Roosevelt pledged to provide sufficient numbers of tanks to the British ally. By the end of the conflict the Sherman was mainly used as a medium tank recovery vehicle and in various specialized roles. </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>In this second volume we will focus on Shermans in service with British Commonwealth and also Polish French and Russian forces. However the many specialized variants such as cranes engineer vehicles self-propelled artillery vehicles or tank destroyers based on the Sherman chassis will not be covered. Instead these will be the subject of the third and final volume devoted to the Sherman dossier!</span></p>
