Famous WW2 Quote
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill

BUSINESS END OF THE M-3 LEE:
The Lee was armed w/1x75mm main gun, w/48rds located on the right side of the hull.
This sponson mount, gave the gun limited traverse, the Lee held the line until the arrival of the M-4 Sherman.
Located in the smaller turret was 1x37mm cannon w/178rds, 2,3 or 4xM-1919A1,.30 Cal. Machine Guns were mounted, w/9200rds, but as I've said being an ex-GI the more ammo you carry the better.
