Canadian 5th armoured Firefly

Canadian 5th armoured division Sherman Firefly in Holland, 1945.Efforts have been made to disguise the length of the gun by putting another (fake) muzzle brake halfway down the barrel and painting the rest a paler color. Often they were painted white or sky blue.

The Sherman Firefly was a World War II British and Canadian variation of the American Sherman tank, fitted with the powerful British 17 pounder anti-tank gun as its main weapon. Originally conceived as a stopgap tank until future British tank designs armed with the 17 pounder came into service, the Sherman Firefly became the most common vehicle to be used with the 17 pounder as its main armament during World War II.
