| Video Discription | An opposed beach landing is the most difficult and dangerous military operation it is possible to undertake. Anticipating massive casualties in the Normandy Landings, the British Army devised a series of highly specialized tanks to solve some of the problems – Hobart’s Funnies. Named after General Sir Percy Hobart, commander of their parent unit, 79th Armoured Division, the Funnies included a mine clearing tank – the Sherman Crab, a flamethrower - the Churchill Crocodile and the AVRE – Assault Vehicle Royal Engineers which could lay bridges and trackways, blow up fortifications and much else besides. In this video, Chris Copson looks at surviving examples of the Funnies and assesses their effectiveness on D Day and after. 00:00 | Introduction 01:24 | Operation Overlord 03:02 | Lessons from the Dieppe Raid 05:31 | The Sherman DD 07:21 | Exercise Smash 14:38 | Sherman Crab 17:38 | The AVRE 19:47 | Churchill Crocodile 23:15 | Did the Funnies Work? 28:49 | Conclusion This video features archive footage courtesy of British Pathé. #tankmuseum #d-day #operationoverlord |
