Reading my books on the M41-series tanks, they note that this tank never saw combat with US forces, but they were stationed in Europe, and some were given to US allies. I have a 1962 Europe scenario planned, and wondered about this tank being in Europe, and since it's the M41A3 by AFV Club, who used this particular tank in Europe in that era. I assume the US still did.

The Bundeswehr (West German Army) had a bunch, along with M47s at that time.

Tom,

except for the Bundeswehr, the Belgian Army and the Danish Army used the M41 too. I seem to remember that the Spanish Army had M41s too.

Cheers

Depending on the exact time the Bundeswehr vehicles had some modifications with different light arrangements etc.
