Add to Cart View # BKM2220 The name “Easy Eight” was the nickname for the final World War II production model of the famous Sherman tank. While never designed to battle heavy German armor, this model was more capable than the original Sherman tanks rolled out three years earlier. The Easy Eight contained key critical upgrades including a longer, high velocity 76mm gun and better armor. The nickname “Easy Eight” comes from the final two letters in its military designation, M4A3E8, which indicated an improved and heavier suspension system designed to deal with the extra weight of the new gun. This was effective at navigating the uneven terrain of the Ardennes Forest when in combat with intimidating German heavy tanks during the Battle of the Bulge. The Easy Eight was the only Sherman to remain in American service following World War II, deployed in Korea until the development of the M46 Patton. The Easy Eight was also the basis of the famous Israeli “Super Shermans” which saw action well into the 1970s.

Add to Cart View # BKM1051 In October 1973, Egypt and Syria launched a surprise assault on the Israeli border during the Jewish Yom Kippur holiday. Initiating a conflict that became known as the Yom Kippur War. Their objective was to reclaim territory lost during the 1967 Six Day War and eventually move on to eliminate the Jewish State. The bulk of the Syrian armored forces was made up of stockpiled Soviet tanks, including a plethora of T-55s. The T-55 was initially developed by the Soviets as a counter to the new American M60 MBT. While the chassis design mirrored that of its predecessors, the turret was completely redesigned. Also new was the incorporation of NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) defenses for the tank’s four-person crew. Still used by nearly 50 countries around the world, the T-55 takes its place as one of the most produced tanks of all time, with estimates surpassing 86,000 units.
