Hello,
I was at the Patten museum at Fort Knox back in March of this year and saw a Sherman tank inside the Museum and do not remember what version it is. Does anyone know?




Thank You, George

George,
It is a M4A3W (75) aka Blockbuster. It was the command tank for then Captain, now Colonel (retired) James Leach when he commanded B Company, 37th Tank Battalion, 4th Armored Division..
