Hi,
In my opinion Operation Varsity is the most underestimated airborne operation in the WWII historiography related to airborne assaults.
Does anyone know, for example, how many M22 Locust light tanks took part in Operation Varsity? The author of
this website informs that 12 and author of
this one that 8. The author of
this website informs that 8 and the author of
this one that 12.
This is rare case in the history when the number between 8 and 12 seems to be so giant that uncountable for the researchers. Do you know credible data about the number of air-delivered M22s during the Rhine crossing on March 24th, 1945?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards
C.
