The M26 Pershing came into production at the end of WWII, addressing the challenges of earlier US Sherman tank models. Although it missed its chance to fully counter the German Panzers in WWII, the Pershing became a formidable force in Korea, effectively facing down Russian T-series tanks. Despite its weight and width leading to the continued use of the Sherman tank, the Pershing's impact was undeniable. In this video, Associate Curator Hank Wilcox takes you through its engineering journey and highlights the technological advancements that set it apart.
