So I just picked up Osprey's Vangaurd series book M47 & M48 Patton Tanks. And there's a plate in the book of a French M47 with an "H" painted on the top as a visual marker from the air that was used in the joint British/French Suez Operation.
They mentioned that originally, the French and British were planning for heavier Egyptian resistance during the operation, including armoured attacks.
Seeing as I'm not really that up on the whole Suez Operation, I was wondering what any folks here who know about that think about this.
If the Egyptians had decided to counter the Allied Force at the Canal with an armoured attack, what units could they have sent? And what would they have been armed with?
