Historical Description

The M4 Sherman Calliope is a special version of the American M4 Sherman medium tank, equipped with the M4 T34 “Calliope” rocket launcher. The Calliope system consisted of 60 tubes for 114 mm rockets mounted above the tank turret. It enabled concentrated indirect fire against infantry and light fortifications. This unique system was used by the United States Army mainly at the end of World War II, especially in Western Europe during 1944–1945. The Calliope was employed in breaching difficult Wehrmacht defensive positions, providing American forces with greater supporting firepower.
