The 30 ton Sherman M4 was the main armament of the Allied armored divisions. It was led by a team of five, and was armed with a 75mm cannon and two machine guns. The tank is painted with markings as LTC Creighton Abrams' command tank "Thunderbolt" would have looked in August 1944. LTC Abrams was the commander of the U.S. Army unit - 37th Tank Battalion of the 4th Armored Division - the unit which first liberated Avranches, France. The bumper markings, painted in white on the lower front of the tank, read "4" triangle "37" triangle then "HQ-1" which translates to 4th Armored Division (a triangle is the symbol for an Armored Unit) 37th Tank Battalion, Headquarters Company, tank #1.

Colonel Abrams would take the 37th Tank Battalion from Utah Beach in Normandy, to Avranches, on to Nancy across the Mosle River, then on to break the encirclement Bastogne, Belgium during the "Battle of the Bulge", would liberate the Dachau Concentration Camp and fight on to the the Czechoslovakian Border of Germany by war's end. He had four tanks named "Thunderbolt" during the war.
