Sherman tanks in Arnhem The Dutch Army used Sherman tanks well into the 1950's. During the cold war era 21 Sherman M4 turrets were placed in concrete bunkers in Arnhem to defend the nearby dam. They came from Shermans left behind in the Netherlands after WW2. The canon was removed and the turret was equipped with a heavy machinegun. They were used to defend the Ijssel-line. From 1964 the tank casemates were no longer in use. In the area Meinerswijk 4 of them have been preserved.

Parkeren in de Hannesstraat, aan de andere kant van de Dijk. Mooi dat dit stukje geschiedenis bewaard is gebleven.
