It is very possible that the M41 Bulldog was used in WW2 by the Germans around the time of the Bulge and beyond. This is accurately depicted along with Patton tanks in the many fine Hollywood movies of the 1960s and 70s.

i think thats completley odd, the m41s were produced many years after world war two and the holly wood movies have nothing to do with this. the m41 was used to replace the m24 chafee and the m24 was supplied to some units during the bulge but not in significant numbers. so how the m41 comes in during the bulge before the m24 does not make sense. its just like the egg came before the chicken.
EDIT: maybe a training excercise in germany? because U.S troops were stationed there to now.

The Ma Deuce has the conical flash suppressor in place. Does anyone know when that was first used?

The tank also has wooden chock blocks on the front slope. That's more of a peacetime army safety requirement than a wartime item. Notice four of them, one for front and back for each side, to keep the tank from rolling onto troops in the motor pool if someone happens to forget to apply the brakes or if it accidentily is started and slips into gear.
