M32 TRV

The M32 tank recovery vehicle was an armored recovery vehicle (ARV) used during World War II and the Korean War by the United States, and was based on the chassis of the M4 Sherman medium tank. During World War II, the British also used several hundred M32s, which were obtained through Lend-Lease in 1944. The first four prototypes were produced in January 1943, labeled T5, T5E1, T5E2, T5E3, and T5E4. After a series of tests at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds, the prototypes were approved as M32, M32E1, M32E2, M32E3, and M32E4. However, the M32E4 never entered production. There were also variants that had upgraded recovery equipment for horizontal volute spring suspension (HVSS), which were demarcated by the suffix "A1" after the model number, however some were upgraded to HVSS without the upgraded recovery equipment these were simply designated M32 HVSS.
