Can somebody tell me a list of all the varients of the Sherman tank that Canada used?
I’m no expert but the vast majority of Shermans used by Canada during and after WW2 was the M4A4. We bought up surplus M4A2 tanks in 1946.
According to Chamberlain and Ellis the Shermans used by Canada during the war were the M4A1, M4A2 and M4A4. They also built an authorized version of the M4A1 which they called the cruiser tank Grizzly.

This seems to be a fairly decent site as well…

Nice to see this thread hasn’t descended into insults like the Canadian ship one did… [:O]
We always love our Canadian allies, eh?
I belive there is a Grizzly up in CFB Borden. Please no more about my outburst.
Sorry, just trying to keep it light! [:I]
