user1000 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Thought I would share this. I couldn't believe it either but here is the modified grant tank at 1:33..50cal but no 37mm barrel or it is turned around? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) It's a recovery vehicle, or maybe a tractor. Take a close look at the 'barrel'. There were quite a few in Normandy. Edited February 25, 2016 by JonS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud Backer Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) It looks like the 75 is fake. A very different mount than usual, mounted in a solid plate that allows no elevation/depression.

Warts 'n' all Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 The fact that it is following along behind a "Dozer" might well indicate that it is a tractor, or recovery vehicle as suggested above. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Interesting the way the casemate swings away. The "turret" could double as a refrigerator and be a cool place to keep the crew's beer.Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StieliAlpha Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 It looks like the 75 is fake. A very different mount than usual, mounted in a solid plate that allows no elevation/depression. Compare to: In the video clip, you can clearly see the door handle at the casemat. Fits nicely to the pictures of the recovery tank with the boom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
