Sherman V "Tulip" with 60lb Rockets

The Sherman V "Tulip" was a modified Sherman V tank fitted with two 60lb Rockets acquired from an RAF Typhoon airbase in Nijmegan in March 1945. Following successful trials an entire squardon of Coldstream Guards Shermans were fitted with the rockets which, lacking accuracy, would still saturate a target with high explosive enough to kill or disable and enemy caught in the salvo.
