M3A5 Lee – A Brief History of the Vehicle

The M3A5 Lee tank was produced by the United States in the first half of the 1940s. It primarily served in Allied armies – it was delivered to Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and used by Australian forces. The M3A5 variant was based on a chassis with a diesel engine powered by two GM 6-71 engines. These tanks proved themselves in the North African campaign and on the Eastern Front, where they were used in battles against German armor.
