About the Cromwell Tank One of the most successful tanks fielded by the British in WWII, the Cromwell comparedfavorably with tanks of similar weight such as the Sherman and Panzer IV. Most were armedwith the 75mm Q.F. Mk.V/VA, which was based on the 6 Pdr. but chambered to fire Americanammunition. This was a very good dual-purpose gun, able to destroy enemy anti-tank guns atlong range, or penetrate the frontal armor of a Panzer IV at normal battle ranges. However itwas less effective against German heavy tanks. The Cromwell first saw action during theNormandy campaign, where it was at a disadvantage as it could not use its superior speedand agility, but this changed after the fighting moved to open country. Cromwell tanks madesome spectacular advances in their pursuit of the Germans across Northern France, Belgiumand Holland. The Cromwell served again in Korea and was finally retired in the late 1950 s.
