By war's end, over 1,350 Tiger Is had been deployed in all theatres where the German Army fought. UNITED STATES:M4A1 ShermanThe quintessential example of America's Arsenal of Democracy, this uncomplicated, fast, reliable, robust vehicle was used on every front by every Allied nation during the war; over 40,000 Shermans were built. This M4A1 was the first common version—featuring a cast hull and mounting a 75mm high-velocity main gun. Later production versions were armed with a long barreled 76mm main gun. UNITED KINGDOM:Crusader IThough many different tanks served with Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery's Desert Rats during the North African campaign, the A15 Crusader I was most representative. Designed late in the 1930s, the Crusaders suffered many teething pains, but from June 1941 through mid-1943, they were the mainstay of Commonwealth armoured forces. This version mounted a two-pound gun; later versions carried the harder-hitting six-pounder. Many soldiered on in auxiliary roles after removal from front line service. SOVIET UNION:T-34/76 C Model 1943Stronger, bigger, and more powerful than contemporary opponents, tens of thousands of T-34s battled German panzers to a standstill—then rolled them back. Key features included a 5-wheel Christie suspension, 76.2mm high velocity gun, a low profile with highly sloped armour, and ease of manufacture and repair. Several German field marshals, including Heinz Guderian, referred to the T-34 as the finest tank in the world! KV-1 A (1940)When the Germans poured into Russia in 1941, the Red Army had a big surprise waiting the invaders: the KV series of super-heavy tanks were impervious to anything the German panzers of 1941 offered! Weighing 43.5 tons (by comparison, the common Pz II was a puny 8.9 tons) and mounting a 76.2mm gun, the KV-1 was an all-Russian design with enhanced protection, and super-wide tracks capable of traversing all forms of terrain. Upgraded KV tanks continued to serve the Red Army throughout WWII.
