help Lend Lease program in favor of the countries involved in the war against
the Axis. Therefore, aircrafts, ships, trains and armaments very important for
the campaign against the Germans and their Allied already arrived at Moscow’s
door, started to flow into Soviet Union. In various version, the Sherman tank
was included in the sustain program. The M4A2 version, with GM diesel engine,
was rejected by the US Army due to the fact that majority of their vehicles were
petrol powered and it would have been an problem for the fuel supplements.
Instead, it was supplied to both Commonwealth and USSR. From this last one, it
would have not represented an issue by already having in service the T34 tank
with diesel engine. More than 4000 units were delivered between 1942 and 1944.
