The Sherman Firefly, a British variant of the American Sherman tank, was equipped with the powerful 17-pounder anti-tank gun as its primary weapon during World War II. Initially designed as a temporary solution until new British tanks emerged, it became the most common vehicle to feature the 17-pounder. The Firefly's production began in early 1944, in time for Field Marshal Montgomery's forces to utilize them during the Normandy landings. These tanks were highly valued due to their ability to defeat Panther and Tiger tanks at standard combat ranges. Consequently, German forces prioritized attacking Fireflies first. Between 2,100 and 2,200 of these tanks were manufactured before production ceased in 1945.
