## Description

The M48 Patton is a medium tank and was the third and final tank to be officially named after General George S. Patton. The first version used in Vietnam was the gasoline engined M48A2 but was soon out numbered by the diesel powered M48A3 which became the most numerous US tank during the conflict. The M48A3s were conversions of earlier models so it wasn’t uncommon for many characteristics to vary from tank to tank. Some M48A3s had 3 support rollers while others had 5 and the headlight assemblies could either be the early or later type. In July 1960 Panzer Tank Battalion 24 / Regiment 6 was formed at Dedelstorf and equipped with the M48A2 Patton medium tank that were immediately put into service as soon as they arrived from the U.S. Army. Any updates and/or modifications were carried out in the field. In 1962 they relocated to Braunschweig (Brunswick) (Roselies / Henry the Lion Barracks). In 1966 the new Leopard 1 MBT started to arrive by the Leopard II in 1981. The Panzer Tank Battalion 24 was decommissioned in December 2003.
