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.
