M32B1 Tank recovery vehicle

Armored Recovery Vehicles (ARVs) were introduced during World War II.
They were built on the hulls of existing armored vehicles, with the main armament and turret removed and special equipment installed for recovering or repairing armored fighting vehicles damaged in battle.
The American M32 ARV was based on the chassis of the M4 Sherman medium tank and was used by the US Army during World War II.
It was characterized by a recovery arm that allowed the damaged tanks to be lifted and towed away.
In addition, the M32 had a large number of repair tools and spare parts on board, which underlined its role as a front-line "mobile tank workshop".
After the end of World War II, the M32 served in the US Army during the Korean War and was used by many countries until the 1990s.
