★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Erg mooi dat deze tank is gered. Zeker de moeite waard om even langs te rijden als je in de buurt bent.
Very nice that this tank has been saved. Definitely worth a stop by if you are in the area.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amerikaanse Shermantank van het type M4A3.
De loop van de tank is ontploft. De tank is na de oorlog door schroothandelaren deels ontmanteld, maar door de plaatselijke pastoor kon het restant behouden worden als monument.
Recentelijk is de tank en omgeving geheel opgeknapt.
De tank staat langs de doorgaande weg door Wibrin bij de plaatselijke kerk en omringd door een weelderige bloemenzee.
American Sherman tank of the type M4A3.
The barrel of the tank exploded. After the war, the tank was partly dismantled by scrap dealers, but the local pastor kept the remainder as a monument.
The tank and surroundings have recently been completely refurbished.
The tank is located on the main road through Wibrin near the local church and surrounded by a lush sea of flowers.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Mooi stukje geschiedenis van een iconische tank welke gelukkig gered is kunnen worden van de sloop.
Evenwel kan men nu de binnenzijde bekijken en er eens bij stil staan dat hier een crew van 5 man in zat...
Nice piece of history of an iconic tank that can be saved from demolition.
However, one can now view the inside and consider that there was a crew of 5 in it ...

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This M4 Sherman belonged to the 84th Infantry Division of the 2nd Armored Division and was knocked out on January 14th 1945, before they abandoned the Sherman, the crew fired the barrel in compressed status destroying the barrel. This is not a M4A3 but a M4 with a late model barrel, replacing should be an initiative from the crew sometime in 1944-45. The Sherman was saved in the 1950 by the local priest from the scrap guys, notice that half of the tank was already cut. Now the tank and surroundings are completely refurbished since 2011.
