A labeled side-view diagram of the M10 Wolverine tank destroyer highlights features such as its heavy 3-inch gun, open-topped turret, sloped-sided hull, .50-inch machine gun, and counterweight. Text boxes provide historical context about its production, use in World War II, and evolution, with details on its role during the Normandy invasion and D-Day. A U.S. tank destroyer with soldiers aboard crosses a shallow stream at the German border during World War II, with a second tank and arched bridge in the background.
