Title: M4 "Sherman" tank
Description: M4 Sherman tank with bulldozer blade attachment (wearing number 82019-Y and nicknamed Defiance) On a European landing beach, 1944. The event is probably either a rehersal for the Normandy invasion, held at Slapton Sands, England, in the spring of 1944, or the invasion of southern France in August. Photographed by a U.S. Coast Guard photographer from USS Samuel Chase (APA-26), using a 35mm camera. Courtesy of the U.S. Coast Guard Historian.
