Episode 214 - Sherman XIIII (M3 VIII)

On today's episode we are taking a look into the combat foray of the M3 Medium Tank-- this episode has been a long time coming.

We are going to North Africa to see how well the M3 Grant and the M3 Lee managed fighting in and around French occupied North Africa in 1942 and beyond.

Thanks for being patient!

Enjoy!
