At the US Army Museum at Fort Belvoir, is a M4A3 Jumbo named “Cobra King”. The history of this tank is that it was the first armored vehicle to reach encircled force as part of the Battle of the Bulge.
After the war, this tank served as a gate guard in Europe, McKee Barracks in Crailsheim, Germany (1957-1967); at Ferris Barracks in Erlangen, Germany 1967-1993; and, later, Rose Barracks in Vilseck, Germany (1993-2008). In 2008, this vehicle was identified by Army historians after an Army chaplain began to do some research.
The vehicle was shipped to the United States where the Patton Museum did exterior restoration work along with sources era correct parts. Work was also done at Fort Benning before being sent to The US Army Museum for display.
