Thanks to Lyric1 for finding the info for this skin.
This winter camouflaged 76mm Sherman was part of the 709th Tank Battalion. When it was photographed in early 1945 this independent tank battalion was attached to the 75th Infantry Division and were fighting near the French town of Riedwihr. This was part of an effort to reduce the Colmar Pocket; an isolated area on the Franco-German border which would be held by the German 19th Army until February.
