The industrial might of the United States guaranteed the production of thousands of M4 Sherman tanks, many of which were transferred to the Allies under the Lend-Lease Act.
Great Britain was one of the main recipients of Shermans - a total of 17,184 vehicles.
The Sherman Mk. II (according to British nomenclature) was an M4A1.
The Second Battle of El Alamein from October 23 to November 5, 1942 was an important turning point in the North African campaign and initiated Rommel's retreat to the west.
One of the keys to the Allies' victory in this final battle was the arrival of Sherman tanks from America. This was the Sherman II's first combat use, with a total of 252 Shermans available at the start of Operation Lightfoot.
