Notes | The M6 was the first US Tank Destroyer, and along with the heavier M3 GMC they equipped Tank Destroyer Battalions in the early part of World War Two, they were a combination of the Dodge WC-55 Truck and a 37mm M3 Anti-Tank Gun. They were phased out by 1943 and their role taken up by M10, M18 & M36 Tank Destroyers. |
