The post-war downsizing hit all versions of the 76 mm Shermans heavily. Part of the tanks went scrap, part was left without maintenance, and so out of 6582 76 mm Shermans in service at the end of 1945, only 3202 remained in 1950, of which 1376 incapable of deployment.

At the same time, however, the Korean War began and interest in US military aid rose sharply. The largest recipient of Shermans was France (1254 M4A1 (76)), but the amount other countries also wanted at least 76 mm Shermans and their supply was dwindling.

Therefore, the development of "export" Sherman was started M4A1 and M4A3 in version E4, officially marked M4A1E4 (76 mm) and M4A3E4 (76 mm), but usually marked collectively M4E4. Unlike the normal 76 mm Shermans, the E4 version carried a 76 mm M1 cannon in a turret originally designed for a 75 mm gun. The tower had to be equipped with a massive weight in the rear.

The largest recipient of M4E4 tanks (76 mm) was Pakistan (547 pieces), followed by Yugoslavia, Portugal and 8 pieces were won by Denmark.

The main difference between M4A1E4 and M4A3E4 was the cast Sherman hull type M4A1.

M4A3E4 ("white 6") of the Danish army, issued in the museum of Oksbøl. The Danish army received eight of these tanks in 1952 for training purposes at the Tank school in Oksbølu. In 1953 began to be in Denmark supplied the british tanks Centurion, and so Shermany were in 1955, being condemned for scrapping. Some of them eventually ended up as targets in military training areas, others were used in training in the rescue of armored techniques. The displayed tank was produced by the company Chrysler in the year 1944.
