there once was a tank named Bomb, and another named Holly Roller. Bomb only took two hits across France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, and never missed a day of work from when it landed in Normandy on D-Day until Germany's surrender



was used by the Canadian Army 27th Armoured Regiment (The Sherbrooke Fusilier Regiment) which landed in France on 6 June and fought across northwest Europe until the end of World War II.

In the course of the war Bomb fired over 6,000 rounds

 It was one of the few Canadian tanks that fought without interruption from D-Day to VE Day.

Bomb was built at GM’s Fisher Tank Arsenal in Flint, MI with twin inline 6 cylinder 2 stroke diesel engines with a total 14L of displacement. Power was 410hp
