Sherman Firefly
The Sherman Firefly was a medium tank used by the United Kingdom and some armored formations of other Allies in the Second World War. It was based on the US M4 Sherman but was fitted with the more powerful British 76.2 mm (3.00 in) caliber Quick Firing (QF) 17-pounder anti-tank gun as its main weapon. Conceived as a stopgap until future British tank designs came into service, the Sherman Firefly became the most common vehicle mounting the QF 17-pounder in the war.
This Firefly, located in the Gdańsk Museum of the Second World War, is painted in the colors and markings of the 24th Uhlan Regiment of the Polish First Armored Division.
The Museum of the Second World War (Polish: Muzeum II Wojny Światowej) is a state cultural institution and museum established in 2008 in Gdańsk, Poland, which is devoted to the Second World War. Its exhibits opened in 2017. The museum is supervised by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.
