Upside Down Tank

The Sherman tank has HVSS suspension. The Canadians did not use this type of Sherman during the Second World War. They had bought a large number of M4A2E8’s after the war, which was used to equip armoured units in Canada. The Canadians also used M4A3E8’s in Korea. So the picture would have to be post WWII, either taken in Canada or in Korea. I would think that the white star on the truck would point to Korea.

I agree. If it is a Canadian tank in the picture, it is either an M4A2E8 in Canada or an M4A3E8 in Korea. In 1951 the Lord Strathcona's Horse swapped their M10 w/17 SP Guns for M4A3E8 Shermans in Korea (see Sherman Encyclopedia > Canada).

Either that, or it an overturned US Army Sherman in Germany(?) near the end of WW2.

I'd bet on Korea.
