Colorized photo from 1943, Mar
Original title: M-10 tank destroyer
Photographer: US. Office of War Information.
Location: Detroit, MI
In the early 1940's a plant was built by the government, to build tanks and other army trucks. One of the models they built was this one: the M-10 Tank Destroyer. Normally a factory like this would produce cars, but since many were building tanks, very few cars were released these years.
The M-10 Tank Destroyer, gives away what it does by its name, it destroys tanks. It sports a twin diesel engine, on a reliable M4 body. It's fitted with a 3-inch gun and a .50 caliber M2 machine gun. To save on weight, the turret was open on the top (instead of the traditional dome). The design was first used in North Africa where it did quite well against the Panzer divisions.
