It was a clash that would shape the future of Europe and the rest of the
world for years to come. The Allied Liberation of Europe began on the
June 6th, 1944, on the beaches of Normandy, and lasted until Germany's
surrender on May 9th, 1945. The Sherman tanks of the U.S. Army began
their steady advance into the European mainland, wrenching Europe
piece-by-piece from the clutches of Germany. However, the massive tanks
of the Wehrmacht such as Tiger and Panther would prove overpowering
against the agile, yet considerably smaller Shermans. One of the major
factors that allowed the Allies' advance to continue despite this
disparity in power was the quick recovery and repair of battle damaged
tanks. That is where the M26 Armored Tank Recovery Vehicles and their
brave crews came in. The M26 first saw action on the Italian Front of
1943, and was later extensively used in the inland advancement of the
Allies following the Invasion at Normandy. In all kinds of weather, in
the middle of the night, or under a barrage of enemy fire, the repair
crews continually fulfilled their duty to recover and repair damaged tanks.
