In 1943 a decision was made to improve the Cromwell’s firepower so a 75mm cannon became the
standard. The 75mm was designed so ammunition could be interchanged with U.S. Army shells. As a
result the Mk. IV appeared in October 1943. With speed and agility the Cromwell now had greater
firepower and became more lethal. It had great success helping to drive the Germans out of France,
Belgium and the Netherlands. The Cromwell led to the design of the arguably best WWII British tank, the
Comet.
Even with fierce battles little is known about Operation Blackcock (a Scottish black male grouse) that
occurred between January 14 & 26 1945. The purpose of the operation was to drive the Germans back
across the rivers Rur and Wurm. The 7th Armoured Division, the “Desert Rats” applied a field coating of
whitewash camouflage to their Cromwells obscuring its markings. The 7th was charged with liberating
Montfort and capturing the bridge in Sint Odiliënberg. This operation was successful and opened the way
for the invasion of the Rhineland | |
