By Chevy From Cuba to USA

For those who don't know about Hobart's funnies, here is a link:

I drove the Chevy to the Florida levy and got a citizenship by(pass)

A few crew of those DD tank's died on deploying into coppy weather on D-Day. High swells and most of those British and Canadian DD tank's did not make it off the boats. In ideal conditions , they are used in clam water.

Although a few did make it ashore and the Juno beach was the first captured by Canadian units, on that infamous day.

Needless too say and sadly, we can presume many improvised flotation vehicle might likely have meet same fate in unfavourable conditions.

Less not to forget the American DD tank units that perished.

@Keyhaar - many of the "floating" tanks especially at Normandy did not make it because they were deployed too far out in rough waters. It was a shame but the brave men made it happen despite problems like that. I collect firearms and have several recovered from D Day. I wish they could talk. My father was shot in the Korean "conflict" .. they never said it was a war.

@BD: And it still ain't over!

I'll forego comments on illegal emigration. Y'all can consider it my nod to the holiday season.
