Hi Hanno,

Thanks for the interesting links. I had seen those photos before, but it never occurred to me that they were knocked out!? They look very recoverable.

According to the 1945 book "The Story of the 79th Armoured Division", these are tanks of "F" Squadron, 49APCR. Also, the 79 AD book mentions a total of 8 kangaroos being knocked out.

"F" Squadron is interesting as it was a newly formed increment to the 49APCR just for the Rhine crossings. It was created from the 52nd Tank Squadron and fitted with Rams in the first week of March 1945.

Bill.
