Some Normandy armor in honor of D-Day & our WWII veterans
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Post subject: Some Normandy armor in honor of D-Day & our WWII veterans

M4A3(75) DD Sherman lost on D-Day and recovered in 1971, currently on Juno Beach





M4(75) Sherman at Utah Beach (the "real" one, not they one they actually landed on) - monument to the Leclerc's 2nd Division Blindee



M4A1E8 Sherman at the Utah Beach where they landed



M4A2(75) Sherman at Gold Beach



Post-war M4A4T(75) upgraded Sherman on Omaha Beach



M4A1E8 Sherman at the Airborne Museum in St Mere Eglise



For good measure



Churchill Mk VII on display in Le Havre



M4A2(75) Sherman, knocked out on 12 August 1944 in Saint-Cristophe-Le-Jajolet, Normandy (Shadock has better pics via the link, but I cant image-link to them).

M4A2(75) Sherman knocked out on 13 August 1944 in Carrefour de la Croix de Medavy, Normandy



the.shadock.free.fr/Ta...index.html

M4A2(75) Sherman also knocked out on 13 August 1944, in Ecouche, Normandy



the.shadock.free.fr/Ta...index.html

M4A1(76) Sherman - erected postwar in 1965 as a monument to the General Maczuga's 1st Polish Armored Division, commemorating the closure of the Failaise gap 19-22 August.

the.shadock.free.fr/Ta...index.html

And last but not least, the PzKpfw VI Tiger abandoned in Vimoutiers, Normandy on 19 August due to lack of fuel

PS: If you cant tell, France is THE place to see combat-damaged Shermans on display...

Great pics neil. Are theose Sherman 75s with the muzzle brakes post war mods? They look a bit ex-israeli to me.

Whoops, the photo tags threw me. Just checked out some books now that I'm home. I'll shut up now.

The DD is an M4A4,not M4A3, Sherman V DD in British parlance, though I think this one is ex-Canadian

I'm currently updating my website and you can see some new walkarounds and some updates (that is to say, more complete walk-arounds). Here is the one concerning the Sherman DD M4A4 at Courseulles :

Photos taken 5 days ago. As usual, click on the photos to get larger ones..

The updates on the website will take some days before being completely finished, so keep an eye on it...

P-O

P-O,
I know this would require a lot of modification on your part, but I think the way you are titling your images means that we cant hot-link them to the board (using the image button function).

For example, Sherman%20M4A4%20DD%20Courseulles-sur-mer%201.JPG wont work, whereas ShermanM4A4DDCourseulles-sur-mer1.JPG probably would - the %20 represents spaces inbetween words, which a lot of systems dont like. Of course you may not want people being able to hot-link your images, which I could understand..

That's because of the brackets :

the.shadock.free.fr/Tanks_in_France/churchill_graye/images/Churchill%20AVRE%20Graye-sur-Mer%207.JPG

will work because there are no brackets

the.shadock.free.fr/Tanks_in_France/sherman_arromanches/images/Sherman%20M4A2%20(75)%20Arromanches%203.JPG

will not work

It seems that I'll have to redo some pages from my website..

P-O

Sorry, neither one works. See below. I believe its because of the spaces... Which translate to %20...

Yes it works, for the Churchill picture, the [/img] is on another paragraph, that's why it doesn't work in your post..

Ah, okay, my mistake - you're right, I guess it was the brakets (or parentheses).

The reason why the above image doesn't work in the forum is because it's formatted incorrectly, if you look very closely there has been a space inserted between .JPG and the closing square bracket.

i.e. .JPG [/img]

it should be .JPG[/img]

remove the space and the picture will show.

Hope that helps

Hi Jeff! Hi Folks!

- piney

Notice the rear sprocket on the DD ?
Jeff Lewis


The early DD's had a sprocket plated bolted to the rear idler wheels to insure the track would turn the props. It was found that the track block put enough pressure on the idler wheels that the sprocket plates were not necessity. A lot of DD's pictures show idler wheels that have a ring mounted between the center hub and the outer rim. That ring had holes in it for mounting the sprocket plate to the idlers. That ring is a great way to ID an ex-DD that has had all the other DD gear removed.

Spot Report!
Sgt, Scouts out!

Hi Shadock! Hi Folks!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

The walk around photos of "Bold" are great. I have been looking for a good set of photos of the rear area of a DD. I think I now have good understanding on how the back end was set up.
