Details:
Designated as T48, this American built Halftrack
mounted the M1 57mm gun (the American copy of the British
6pdr.) and was originally intended for British use.
Approximately
350 were supplied to the Russians who in turn also allocated
156 to the Polish Peoples Army.
First seeing
action in 1943 at Dnepr River in the Ukraine, they continued
in service until wars end. |
