Thank you....
That explains the mixture of old and new equipment.....they really poured everything they had........ quite the infusion of supplies and troops.
Four days to load, 24 hours at sea and 5 days of driving across France and Belgium quite the feat....... wonder how many vehicles broke down along the way.... the logistics must have been a night mare...... feeding....fuel....repairs....
Makes a joke of the Liberation of Holland Ceremony in Ottawa next week where they are limiting the number of vehicles due to lack of space at the War Museum..... Ha!!!!
Amazing what could be done in 1945 WITHOUT computers.... by people willing to make the effort.
