Arsenal: M4 Sherman in Normandy, 1944
Arsenal: M4 Sherman in Normandy, 1944 follows the United States Army’s workhorse tank from the hedgerows south of Saint Lo back to its debut at El Alamein and through the wider battles of the Second World War, tracing how design choices, doctrine, and crew training shaped every engagement. Listeners hear the Sherman in action in the bocage, the problem it was built to solve, how it went from drawing board to mass production, what life was like inside the turret and hull, and how its strengths, weaknesses, variants, and long legacy still echo in museums and memorials today. Arsenal is the Friday feature of Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine, and the podcast is developed by Trackpads.com.
