Well done. I had not realized how long the M26's persisted in Europe but am not too surprised as they were a big advancement over the ubiquitous M4's that were everywhere by then.

Excellent job Friend. Good informative post and correct.
The sad thing about the introduction of Pershing's to Europe is that they did not do anything that a Sherman with a 75 could do in combat. Shooting up the side of the Panther in Cologne, shooting a Tiger in the bottom of the hull as it climbed over a dirt mound... There is a very long and extensive documentary about the shootout in Cologne. Originally it was claimed that the crew of the Panther either died in the burning hull or escaped only to die of the wounds. In reality all five were able to escape and two were still alive at the time the documentary was made. One stated that when they saw the Pershing, they thought it was a Royal Tiger (Tiger B) and hesitated. Before their engagement, both the Panther and Pershing were firing machine-guns at targets when a civilian car came through their fire. It was a German doctor and his female assistant. He was killed outright, she was wounded and was taken to an American aid station where she later died. During the making of the documentary, the film maker got enough information to track down the dead woman's sister who positively identified her, saying the family had always wondered what happened to her. It is an interesting documentary. One thing of note is that Clarence Smoyer, the gunner in the Pershing was asked questions and then the film maker went to Germany to ask the German Panther crewman the same questions and then they were both interviewed again, being told what the other had said. Very interesting.
Very well done.
