Weekend Event: Battle of the Bulge

US_3rd_Army, on Dec 17 2012 - 01:29, said: The Jumbo and Easy Eight both were around during the Battle of the Bulge.
1)Jumbo Sherman:
In June–July 1944, the Army accepted a limited run of 254 M4A3E2 Jumbo Shermans, which had very thick armor, and the 75 mm gun in a new, heavier T23-style turret, in order to assault fortifications.
2)Easy Eight:
This new variant entered into WWII late in the war (Dec 1944), and was kept in service in various western allied nations deep into the Cold war
