"On the outskirts of Badonviller, the M4A2 Sherman tank 'Mort-Homme' stands as a powerful monument to the liberation of the village on November 17, 1944. This tank, belonging to the 501st Régiment de Chars de Combat (RCC) of the French 2nd Armored Division, was knocked out by enemy fire during the fighting for the Vosges. The tank was preserved in exactly the same place and transformed into a memorial. 'Mort-Homme' refers to a notorious hill near Verdun from the First World War, and symbolizes the sacrifice and fighting spirit of the French troops in both world wars."

Badonviller's M4A2 "Mort-Homme" Sherman tank was part of the 501st RCC, a French unit that fought under General Leclerc during World War II. It was hit by enemy fire on November 17, 1944 and has been preserved as a monument ever since. You can see the tank's name, "Mort-Homme", painted on its turret. The tank is located on Avenue du Colonel de la Horre, near the entrance to the city.
