DD trials
With the same lot of pictures came this picture of a modified DD tank swimming through an inferno of burning oil. There were concerns that the Germans may attempt to thwart the D Day landings by igniting oil on the invasion beaches. It was unsure how the DD tanks would contend with this hazard so trials were done in Studland Bay. This picture was taken March 27th, 1944.
CHIMO! Derek.
