The V-2 T-34 engine was based on a French Dirigible engine design dating back to the early 20's.

The Sherman diesel variants (M4A2 and M4A5) were used by the British and Soviets under lend-lease, the USMC because of their compatability with US Navy fuel sources, and on a few occasions some found their way into US Army service from depots.
