Ortona remembered

[Hanno Spoelstra]

From Ortona remembered
What city fathers really wanted was a Sherman tank, with its 75mm gun, as a monument.

A quick search yielded some information about the actual type of Sherman tank used at the Ortona battle:

"Sherman III [M4A2] of the Three River Regiment in Ortona, Dec 1943. The stowage scattered about the tank is not untypical of an armoured unit in combat conditions. PAC Photo."
