1. M4 Sherman Panzer Marker
Der Sherman Panzer war der meistgebaute US-Panzer des Zweiten Weltgkriegs. Ab 1942 wurden zwischen 30.000 und 40.000 Stück in allen Varianten gebaut. Beim Abschuss hatte dieses Militärfahrzeug einen „Rohrkrepierer", d.h. eine Sprenggranate detonierte bereits im Rohr. Der Panzer wurde danach einige Jahre auf einem Truppenübungsplatz als Zielobjekt für Schießübungen genutzt.
The M4 Sherman was the most-built US tank of the Second World War. From 1942, between 30,000 and 40,000 pieces of this tank were built in all variants. At launch, this shell had a „piper", an explosive grenade detonated already in the pipe. The tank was then used for target practice on a military training area for a few years.

Tens of thousands were distributed through the Lend-Lease program to the British Commonwealth, Soviet Union, and other Allied Nations. The tank was named by the British after the American Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman.Photographed by James Hulse, September 24, 20242. The front view of the M4 Sherman Panzer and Marker
