Historical Information

The M3 Lee tank was one of the first American medium tanks used during World War II. It was developed in response to the rapid progress of German armored forces in Europe, and its production began in 1941. The M3 Lee was distinguished by its side-mounted 75 mm hull gun and a turret with a 37 mm anti-tank gun. This tank was used primarily by the United States Armed Forces and the British Army in North Africa (under the names "Lee" or "Grant") between 1941 and 1943. It took part in the North African campaign, demonstrating high effectiveness against Italian and German units despite its unusual armament configuration.
