The Story
By Steven J. Zaloga
M26 Pershing tanks were on the frontline with US armoured units by the later end of World War II. This tank was a match for any tanks being used in the German order of battle. Including the Panther and Tiger tanks.
As soon as the M4 Sherman matched against the German Panther and Tiger tanks, American tank crews knew their vehicles were not up to scratch. They needed a heavily armed and armoured tank. It needed to take on the powerful German panzers on a more equal footing.
