Default Dunkirk Morris CS8 ?

Just wondering what the trailer device is behind the abandoned lorry ? A weapon of some sort .The half drowned Morris looks to be salvageable .

Mike,

Going by the shape of the canopy of the truck the towing gun (?), and the shape of the open cab door, I do not think this is a British truck. Could be German, French or Belgian perhaps and the "gun" likewise.

Methinks the truck is captured french possible a Renault and the gun a 20mm flak it would appear to be a German unit advancing through flooded terrain passing abandoned equipment
cheers
