The Sherman Firefly is a British modification of the American M4 Sherman tank, adapted to mount the powerful 17-pounder anti-tank gun. The 1c variant with a welded hull was notable for its construction durability and was often used in World War II, especially from 1944 onwards, during the battles in Normandy and on the Western Front. Firefly tanks were primarily used by the British, Canadian, and Polish 1st Armoured Division armies, serving as effective weapons against German Panthers and Tigers. Their debut came during World War II, and they remained active until the end of the conflict, that is, 1945.
