The new German tanks were the headache of ordinary Sherman tanks. The mass production of the M26 Pershing was still some time away. The M4A3E2, a special Sherman variant nicknamed Jumbo was thus born. It received much thicker chassis and turret armor on the basis of M4A3. It could withstand the shot of large caliber German tank guns and anti-tank guns. Later, it was refitted the 76mm main gun and had better anti-armor capability. In the end of December, 1944, a Jumb tank of the 4th Armored Division under the command of Patton led a unit of U.S. soldiers to break the German Siege of Bastogne and joined forces with the 101st Airborne Division. This operation reversed the situation of the Battle of the Bulge.

The tank from the 37th Tank battalion led the mixed relief column that broke the siege of Bastogne on the day after Christmas 1944, giving vital aid to the embattled troops of the 101st Airborne who had been trapped in the town for over a week. Once the battle was over and the 101st relieved, the crew scrawled the slogan "First in Bastogne" on the side of the tank, forever immortalized in the photos taken in the days after the battle.
