Tons of pics of Shermans with dozer blade in the ETO online, as far as I found out always with M 4 Sherman. The later M1 dozer blade was standardized to fit any Sherman with VVSS suspension.' A 1943 field modification added the hydraulic dozer blade from a Caterpillar D8 bulldozer to an M4 Sherman. The bulldozer blade was a valuable, new battlefield tool.

In the Pacific, it was also used with a bulldozer blade mounted on the front to cut a path through the thick jungle. It was designed to support the infantry, giving them additional firepower when advancing. 'The M4A3 Sherman tank was used in both the European and Pacific Theaters of Operations, during World War II.

Combat weight was 16.5tons and the armour was from 16. It was armer with a 37mm M6 anti-tank gun which was only effective against German light armour. The M5A1 was used as a scout tank were its high speed of 58km/h (36mph) could be used as an advantage. But by 1944 the British and other nations began to be supplied with them in large numbers. At first the M5 and M5A1 were used only by the US Army, while most M3 Stuarts were now built for Lend-Lease. Later the turret was re-designed to mount the radio in a rear bustle, this model became the M5A1 entering service in November 1942.

'Flat Foot Floogie' was Slim & Slams first and biggest hit song. The new tank was designated the M5 and entered service in September 1942. ' Flat Foot Floogie (with a Floy Floy) ' (also ' The Flat Foot Floogee ') is a 1938 jazz song, written by Slim Gaillard, Slam Stewart, and Bud Green, and performed by Gaillard and Stewart as Slim & Slam. Cadillac re-designed the M3 mount to 2 X Cadillac V-8 auto engines which meant a ne engine compartment and rear hull.
