The Medium Tank M3 was an American medium tank used during World War II. In Britain the tank was called "General Lee", named after Confederate General Robert E. Lee and the modified version built with a new turret was called the "General Grant", named after General Ulysses S. Grant. The M3 was a rapidly produced tank, which filled the void left by the aging interwar M2 tank and was used heavily by British and Canadian forces. The M3 boasted two main guns - a 37 mm in the turret and a 75 mm in a forward sponson of the tank.

abstract	The Medium Tank M3 was an American medium tank used during World War II. In Britain the tank was called "General Lee", named after Confederate General Robert E. Lee and the modified version built with a new turret was called the "General Grant", named after General Ulysses S. Grant. The M3 was a rapidly produced tank, which filled the void left by the aging interwar M2 tank and was used heavily by British and Canadian forces. The M3 boasted two main guns - a 37 mm in the turret and a 75 mm in a forward sponson of the tank. Despite the M3's armor and firepower being considered more than adequate in 1942, rapid German tank development led to the Grant being declared obsolete for the European Theater in mid-1943 where it was replaced by the M4 Sherman.
