Introduction

At the end of WW1, the US Expeditionary Force was given some 144 Renault FT French tanks, and a license for production in the US, as the M1917 tank. But production organization took time and only a few were shipped to France and were operational before the capitulation. Nevertheless, this new weapon proved its ground. Embryos of the Tank Force, the Tank Corps in France and the Tank Service in USA were set, the first by Samuel Rockenbach, assisted by Georges S. Patton, the second headed by Ira Clinton Welborn, assisted by Dwight D. Eisenhower. Patton had already gained some experience, directing a squadron of three armored cars during the punitive expedition sent against Pancho Villa’s insurrection. At the end of the war, one of these units, the 301st Heavy Tank Battalion, was equipped with British Tanks Mk.IVV. This led to a cooperation on a new design, which ultimately became the Liberty (Mk.VIII) tank.

Along with the lighter M1917 tanks, they formed the core of the US Tank Force during the twenties. Georges S. Patton and Dwight Eisenhower played a great role in formulating tactical doctrines and organization.

US tank development in the interwar

The Tank Service retained the Mark VIII Liberty and M1917, with no intermediate medium model, until 1928, when a new directive was issued for a medium tank, and a new light model, usable by cavalry. At the same time, J. Walter Christie, an American car engineer, devised a new, revolutionary tank suspension system, with a dual purpose train, allowing the vehicle to also run without its tracks. However, his project, quickly dubbed the “flying tank”, was never produced in the US except as a prototype, because it never fulfilled all the requirements of the Army and US Marine Corps. The design was not lost and served as a basis for many successful models abroad, in Great Britain (the Cruiser tanks) and Soviet Union (BT series and the T-34).

An important place for the American armor projects was the design bureau of the Mississippi’s Rock Island Arsenal (between Iowa and Illinois), which designed, produced and tested tanks for the US Army. Not only did it produced the Liberty Mark VIII tanks in 1919-1920, but also artillery, gun mounts, recoil mechanisms, small arms, aircraft weapons sub-systems, grenade launchers and weapons simulators… that is outside tanks.

Light tanks

M2A4 at Guadalcanal
The M2s were the only operational US light tanks at the beginning of the war. The M2A4 was the sole among the four types which actually took part in combat, especially in the Pacific (like here, at Guadalcanal) with the USMC. It was removed from active duty in 1943. All the others, the pre-series M2A1, the M2A2 “duplex turret” or “Mae West”, and upgraded M2A3, were kept for training in the USA.

M1 Combat Car

113 built. This early development, along with the M2, was the basis of the M3-M5 “Stuart” lineage, which formed the backbone of US light tanks. The M1A2 was upgraded with a 37 mm (1.46 in) gun in 1940.

M2 Light Tank

700 built in four variants. Closely related to the M1A2. The most produced version was the M2A4, which saw service in the Pacific and Africa, before being replaced by the mass-produced M3.

M3 Stuart

13,860 built. The M3 was a replacement for the M2, and was mass-produced, forming the core of the US light tanks during WW2.

M5 Stuart

8885 built. Based on the M3A3 with a modified hull and new Cadillac engine and transmission. Armor was reinforced, but the armament did not evolve.

M24 Chaffee

4731 built (and 720+ variants). Last WWII US light tank developed, it was better armored and armed, serving from 1944-45 until the late seventies.

Medium tanks

M2 medium tank

112 built. With the M2A1 wartime production series, this was the earliest US medium tank in service, in 1939. They were retained in the homeland as training machines.

M3 Lee/Grant

3258 built. This long awaited model entered service as fast as possible with British units fighting in North Africa, through Lend-Lease. It was phased out in 1942, but served until 1945 in Asia. It was mobile, well armed and protected, but the high silhouette and sponson main gun were serious flaws. It was a transition model.

M4 Sherman

49,234 built. This mythical machine replaced the Lee/Grant and remains the most prolific tank of the western world. But it was a compromise and has some flaws as well, especially when facing German late tanks of 1943-45.

M26 Pershing

Around 2000 built. Only 20 were deployed in Germany a few weeks before the end of the war. The development of this tanks started in 1942, but delays and modifications delayed the production until December 1944. It was well protected and fitted with a 90 mm (3.54 in). It was the base for Cold War US tank development, including the early T29 and T30.

Heavy tanks

As pragmatic planners, the US military never seriously envisioned heavyweight breakthrough machines, as tanks were traditionally attached to the cavalry. Speed and easy production were the main concerns at the start of WW2. After war experience in Europe started accumulating, the need for more penetrating power and increased protection came, advocating for all-better medium tanks, specialized tank-hunters and ultimately to the first wartime US heavy tank. The only U.S. Army super-heavy tank ever produced was the experimental T28.

M6 Heavy Tank

40 built in 1941. Considered obsolete by 1944, they never left home, serving as training machines, for propaganda movies and war bond shows.

T28 super-heavy tank

Two built. Experimental machine fitted with a very long barrel 105 mm (4.13 in) gun, in order to deal with the most formidable German tanks in the western European theater. The first was ready when the war ended. The second was scrapped in 1947.

Tank destroyers

War experience quickly showed the limitations of the Sherman when facing German armor, as early as the Tunisian campaign. This was epitomized both in Italy (after Italy surrendered) and in France (after D-Day). The main limitation was the lack of range and penetrating power of the regular 75 mm (2.95 in) Sherman main gun. The obvious solution was to choose the British 17-pdr (76.2 mm/3 in) (which was added later to the Sherman Firefly), and to develop a new vehicle based around this gun and specially designed as a tank-hunter.

M10 3in GMC

6706 built. Ordnance “3-inch Gun Motor Carriage, M10”. Based on a Sherman chassis and drivetrain, with an open top turret fitted with a high-velocity M7 76 mm (3 in)

M36 Jackson

1772 built, between 1943-45. Fitted with the 90 mm (3.54 in) M3 high-velocity gun, a very effective solution, one of the few fit to deal with German armor in 1944.

M18 Hellcat

2507 built between 1943-45. Conceived from scratch, with its new suspension and powerful drivetrain, it was lightning fast and fitted with the effective 76 mm (3 in) M1A2 AT gun.

Howitzer Motor Carriages

This part does not include M3 half-track GMC versions; HMC tanks only.

M8 Scott

1778 built. M5 based HMC fitted with a 75 mm (2.95 in) short barrel howitzer.

M7 Priest

3490 built, between 1943-45. Fitted with the 105 mm (4.13 in) M1/M2 howitzer, its tall silhouette earned this model the nickname “Priest”.

Armored scouts & transports

M1 Armored car

12 built (1931) by Cunningham and Rock Island Arsenal. Largely test vehicles used by the Cavalry Corps.

M3 Scout car

20,918 built. Main US heavy scout car. Was armed with 30 cal. (7.62 mm) and 50 cal. (12.7 mm) machine-guns.

M2 half-track

13,500 built (+3500 M9 Lend-Lease versions). Was used for towing the 105 mm (4.13 in) howitzer and its crew.

M3 half-track

43,000 built. Standard armored troop transport of the US Army and USMC. Up to 28 sub-versions and adaptations.

M8 Greyhound

8523 built. Standard issue 6WD armored scout car.

The M3 Lee (Grant in British/Commonwealth service) was the first medium tanks largely available to the Allies and USA during the first part of the war, from 1941 to 1943. The British used them extensively against Rommel’s forces in Africa, and they served well in several Asian and Pacific campaigns, until 1945. On the western theater they were replaced by the M4 Sherman by 1943.

The M4 Sherman was the most prolific and best all-around tank the US industry could offer in 1942. The full force of the USA’s production capabilities became obvious in late 1943, when swarms of M4s were seen in action with the US Army, USMC, British and Commonwealth forces, fighting until the end of the war. A legend in itself, with many variants and countless derivatives, and a career which spans decades into the Cold War.

T28 super heavy tank
The T28 super-heavy tank was the only one of the kind ever built in the United States, at Pacific Car and Foundry. With 95 tons it was indeed super heavy, originally designed to carry an exceptional gun, the 105 mm T5E1. However it was given a Ford GAF V-8 500 hp (372 kW) barely capable to move it, at 8 mph on a good road (that can support its weight). Quite a mobile blockhaus with 300 mm (12 in) of armour on the glacis and mantlet it was impregnable not only to the German 88 L71 and 128 mm, but also potentially the Soviet 120 mm.

To lower ground pressure, it had double tracks, with four 2×4 double roadwheels suspended on two sets of HVSS (horizontal volute spring). Autonomy was limited to 100 miles, and it was not compatible with any known railway carriage. Tested until October 1947, the project was terminated. Only one prototype, rediscovered in 1972 at Fort Belvoir, was transferred to the Patton Museum of Cavalry and Armor in Kentucky where it can be found today, in static conditions.

US Antitank Guns

The story of development of US Army Antitank guns started before the war, in 1938. So far, the only model that could be used in that role in direct fire was the American 3-in, or more precisely the 75 mm Gun M1897. In 1940, the Infantry had a 37 mm M3 light AT gun, while in 1943 a new generation entered the fray, the brand new 3-in M5 and the 90 mm gun M1-M3, plus the 105 mm T8. The US Army even had a British-built gun in service in 1942, the 57mm M1, which was in fact the QF-6pdr.

75 mm Gun M1897

M2A3

derived from the French “75”, and produced to around 1900, used in 1918 and stockpiled in the interwar. Although they had a great rate of fire, accuracy, range and overall muzzle velocity were poor in WW2 standards. Nevertheless, on these US-built models, Carriages were built by Willys-Overland, the hydro-pneumatic recuperators by Singer Manufacturing Company and Rock Island Arsenal, the cannon itself by Symington-Anderson and Wisconsin Gun Company. They were redesignated M1897A4 during the interwar (The A2-A3 were French-Made), and used the modern carriage M2A3: -Split trail, rubber tires, and better (+45 degrees), 30 degree traverse either side. They formed the backbone of TD bataillons in 1939 but needed trucks to be operated. The Infantry was looking for a much lighter and more manageable model that can offer much better velocities but with a smaller AP shell.
They were only removed from service in 1941-42, put on the M3 Half-Track as M3 GMC and saw extensive service that way until the end of the war. In the pacific the low level of protection of Japanese tanks (and their scarcity) meant they were also used for covering HE fire. The M1897A4 shell was really the main standard for tanks, similar to the 75mm M2 and M3 (M3 Lee & Sherman), even the Chaffee’s 75mm M6 and B25 Mitchell’s gunships.

Forgotten Tanks and Guns of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940sForgotten Tanks and Guns of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s

By David Lister

History forgets. Files are lost and mislaid. But this book seeks to shine a light, offering a collection of cutting edge pieces of historical research detailing some of the most fascinating arms and armament projects from the 1920s to the end of the 1940’s, nearly all of which had previously been lost to history.Included here are records from the UK’s MI10 (the forerunner of GCHQ) which tell the story of the mighty Japanese heavy tanks and their service during the Second World War.

Tanks are my only thing that I love. So what do you guys think? I want to start a club by building replica tanks and fight different countries with their tanks. Most of the tanks that are going to be part of are part of this website. This website is so amazing

Replica tanks are going to be expensive, especially the tracks. But good luck with that, it would be a ride to remember. Just make sure you actually have the capabilities of pulling it off.

Awesome! I love this site. So much information and I like; it even has information on rare or not very well known tanks! Only gripe is where is the page on the M24 Chaffee?

Unfortunately most tanks, including T28, have been taken from Fort Knox KY to Fort Benning Georgia,and are sitting on rail cars because of no display area. The division that left Fort Knox owned them and took them. So sad.

I am a bit sad as to how unfinished/underworked the US and UK parts of the WW2 site are. The German one has specific pages for near all of it’s tanks, this has none.

Hello Christopher,
We are sorry you feel this way. However, do note that the Germans had way more vehicle types in service than either the British or Americans.
The only vehicles we’re missing are the Comet (coming soon, TM) and a few British armored cars.
Could you be kind enough to highlight some missing vehicles for us?
All the best,
Luke

I am researching tanks for a story I am writing. My uncle was involved in a tank battle. They were captured by the Germans and given an ultimatum: either surrender as POWs or to be blown up. They chose the later. His body was never found of course and the government recognized him with a purple heart, but the VFW never recognizes him on Memorial Day since no grave was found. I want to write a short story honoring their heroism. Anyone have any ideas for me.
Sincerely, a nephew who enjoys his freedom.

I’m with Mike and it was the second thing that popped into my head. If there were no remains (or more to the point, survivors), how do you – how does anyone – know of any kind of offers OR refusals? The first thing that popped into my head was to wonder about what wonder-weapon the Germans were using that was capable of so utterly obliterating tank crews AND their tanks. I never thought of the Wehrmacht as incompetent, but if they had tank disintegrating weapons and still lost, they must’ve resembled the 3 stooges.

I think this is a great list but it doesn’t show all of the tanks. There are way more Sherman variants like the E8 and jumbo. There are other tanks missing here as well. Good list but I think it should be expanded.

I have two questions. First, who do you have that draws/animates the tanks on most of your pages? Second, can I request for said drawings?

Hello Tyler,
Almost all of our illustrations are made by David Bocquelet. A few are done by Jaroslaw Janas.
We do not accept outside requests, unless they are accompanied by a publishable article 🙂
Our illustrators can do paid work though.
All the best!

Very nice site, as everyone says!

It would cool though if one could do scale comparisons between the various tanks, including WWI against WWII, French compared to German and so on.
I mostly came here to see if could see the size differential between the French Char B1 bis and a Panzer IV.

Also being able to look side by side at gun placement and so on.
I’m not asking for much! 😉

If that sort of thing is here, I couldn’t find it.

Thanks!
Chris

do y’all have plans to do the LVT(A)(4) ZiS-2? where they used the LVT-4 with a custom made turret with to fit in the Russian ZiS-2 gun in it but the twist is that this was made and used by China I think during ww2.

Unfortunately, good sources for the conversion are proving elusive. If good sources of info become available, it shall be worked on.

The drop down menu for WW2 tanks is broken: the last menu item(s) is listed below the page and cannot be seen (e.g. US Tanks).
I only get to his page by accident.

Hello Jack,
We’re sorry about the problems you experienced. It seems that happens in low resolution, but that webdesign issue can be solved the same way as the cold war submenu, by creating a geographical area submenus.
We are working on this.

Hey do you think (When y’all have the time) that you could do Christie T3E2 prototype?

This web site helps me a lot in the game of world of tanks because it shows the background history and stats of most tanks in the game

i love this site but i wish they would add some more tanks like the T-28, and the m60 Protton that they left out of this list

I feel like the list of tanks should be longer due to all of the variants of the Sherman but I understand due to their being so many that they wouldn’t all be here but I kind of want to know how many variants there are

Rest assured, the Sherman Variants are gradually being an added. We have already added the M4A6 and M4A3E2 ‘Jumbo’ have already been added. We currently have articles on the M4A3E8, Sherman Crab and Sherman Crocodile in the works.

A question are you planning to add any articles on the t28/t95 prototypes? Also pretty sure they were originally being developed to help the invasion of japan until of course we dropped the atomic bombs not needing to do so, im not sure if this is true if you guys could give conformation on this that would be nice 🙂

Also absolutely love this sight!

One of my favorite tanks! Me and my friend have taken to nicknaming it “Doom turtle” because it’s slow and very heavily armored (305mm).

If you guys ever want to step up the tank gaming a lot, check out an amazing computer game called War Thunder. It has WWII tanks, planes and realistic gameplay. The game is probably the most real world like and gives a really good view of tank play.

If one of our writers can find the time and has sufficient information that they think will make a good article, then yes it will get one eventually

Hi, Im Tim. I am aa massive follower of military history, particularly in subjects pertaining to armoured vehicles. I was wondering if you would ever add an article on the T18 Boarhound. It was a small project but it is a vehicle the is well worth noting.

There are indeed those that are more well versed than i with regard to armored warfare but with respect I found this on a Marine Corps website;

Used by Marines: Defence Battalions, 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th Tank Battalions.
M2A4 Iceland, Guadalcanal, Defence Battalions.
M3 Defence Battalions, Guadalcanal,
M3A1 Guadalcanal, Emirau, New Georgia, Boganville, Tarawa, some converted to “Satan” Flame Tanks.
M3A3
M5A1 Cape Gloucester, Roi-Numar, Saipan, Tinian.

I know many may focus on the Army, but being a former Marine myself (if there is such a thing) I remember, vividly when I served the obsolete gear we were using during my time ’79-’85. Remarking on this to my father, a 30 year lifer Marine ’37-’67 it was much the same when he was in. (although he served in a Pak howizter Co. he was aware of other element of the TO & E of the units he served with. I also know as well it take a massive budget to keep the Navy afloat so the Marines seemily always get the short end of the stick. Not to say that new is ALWAYS better, but this is food for thought.

Great site, thank you for the effort. I actually got here looking for information on US SPG’s for WW2, I was surprised to see only 2 listed…although there were a few new models that were not adopted until mid-late 1945, the M-12, M-40 and M-41 did see service in WW2.

An adaptation of the French 155mm GPF gun to motorized use, the 155mm Gun Motor Carriage M12 was mounted on an M3 tank chassis. With a crew of six, it was adopted in 1941 and proved very effective in the European Theater during World War II. It was capable of a maximum range of 21,982 yards.
Adopted in February 1945 and used in the Korean War, the 155mm Gun Motor Carriage M40 mounted either a 155mm Gun M1A1 or M2 mounted to the rear deck of a modified M4 medium tank chassis. Crewed by eight men, it had a range of 25,722 yards firing a 95-pound projectile. The 155mm Howitzer Motor Carriage M41 was adopted in June of 1945, and a total of 85 were accepted by the army. It incorporated a 155mm Howitzer M1 with a maximum range of 16,360 yards on the rear of an open M24 Chaffee light tank chassis. The M41 saw service in both World War II and the Korean War.

Hello Jay,
Indeed, this page stayed in its own juice since a very long time, back to the creation of TE. If you check the various posters about US Tanks you’ll see these had been done i think, all but one. In addition aticles could be done on the various M2 and M5 halftrack sub-variants. They will be covered ultimately, since the illustrations are ready, but i dunno by who and when. Current writers are mostly focusing on British AFVs and personally i’m busy since a while on other topics and websites. But you’re free to participate to complete this page, i hope i will find time to complete it myself some day, just like most pages and the whole WW2 page, almost a book in itself. Problem is, it’s time consuming, just like webmastering and coping with tons of issues, and TE had never and will never be a cash factory. Unless perhaps we decide one day to find partners and turn it into a printed version, or else.

Thanks for these indications anyway, they will find their place in it.
Best,

An article on the T29 is currently in development. We hope the others will follow closely behind it.

– TE Moderator

Can you by chance do an article involving the John Deere armored model A tractors developed during ww2? They are unique vehicles that not a lot of people know about, also this is the best website by far!

I’ve been creating my own hand-drawn book of tanks for my own personal reference, with specs of tanks n things, and this site has helped me find so much about these tanks. Many thanks!

I think that functionality got closed the last time we got hacked. We’ll look into redoing it.

But just as a rule of thumb, we publish every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Will there ever be an article on the Sherman with Pershing turret? I would love to see an article on this.

Hello Duncan,
The T29 will be published soon-ish.
