Historical Information

The M3 Lee medium tank was designed and implemented by the United States in the early phase of World War II (1941-1943). It was used by the US and British armies, among others, on the North African and Pacific fronts. Its unusual design, with a 75 mm gun mounted in the hull and a 37 mm gun in the turret, resulted from the need for a quick deployment of more heavily armed tanks to the battlefield. Despite certain design limitations, the M3 Lee played an important role in the Battle of El Alamein and fights in the Philippines.
