This week, another Emrys request as we tackle the backbone of America’s armored division in World War II, the M4 Sherman medium tank! Or that’s what I thought until I checked the message history, and discovered it was actually a message from Aedan, Emrys’s son who guested on our episode back in the day on the Gwazine-class & Friends! So let’s talk about the first tank we’ve ever covered on the show, and the dozen dozen ways they swapped its parts around to try to keep up with the war!
Most of the resources can be readily found on the M4 Sherman page on Wikipedia, and links branching off of it. The ones that can’t be, I have included in this folder.
Here is a link to ceasefirenow.com, a site aggregating various resources for demanding action from your government with regards to a ceasefire in Gaza. For those in the US, here is the official government site for finding your Representative.
