    Don’t recall the nomenclature, but an AA tank based on a Sherman. 20mm Polstens?

    The Skink it is!

    It’s a modified Canadian AA turret on a Sherman hull. Not much need for them by the time they were developed. Only 3 were made.

    They would’ve come in handy later in Korea during the Chicom “human wall” assaults.
