M3 Lee/Grant – Historical Background

The M3 Lee and Grant tanks, used during World War II, were developed for the American army (Lee) and the British and other Allies (Grant). Produced from 1941, they constituted key early Allied support during the fighting in North Africa, playing a noticeable role for example during the Battle of Gazala (1942). The presence of two guns – a 75mm mounted in the hull and a 37mm in the turret – distinguished the design, and the short-barreled M2 L/31 was characteristic specifically of the first production series. The M3 Lee and Grant variants were in use until the mid-1940s, being replaced by more modern designs; nevertheless, their participation in conflicts such as World War II granted them a lasting place in the history of military technology.
