The M4 Sherman formed the backbone of the Allied armoured forces. The industrial strength of the United States was a key factor in the Allied victory of 1945, and the Sherman became one of the most produced tanks of the Second World War. The M4A2 version stood out with welded armour and a General Motors 6460 engine, which was less prone to fire than earlier versions.

This kit connects directly with the French 2e Division Blindee, better known as Division Leclerc. This armoured unit was created in August 1943, consisted of Free French soldiers of General de Gaulle and was commanded by General Philippe Marie Leclerc. After American training and equipment, the division began its combat route in Normandy, fought at Falaise, moved toward Paris, later fought in Alsace, Lorraine and West Germany, and ended its path at Berghof and Berchtesgaden.
