There is not a Soviet Weird Weapons documentary. Because if you go to stalin talking about incendiary bats you will be shot by stalin itself. Why the hell did we listen to that bat-asshole?
That bat briefing would have been cool: teams of bats in their flight gear, nervously chewing sticks of Beamont's gum, making dark jokes to relieve the tension. The intelligence officer steps up to the front, turns off the lights and says: "All right, men, listen up. Tonight's target... Tokyo!" Muffled squeaks of regret echo through the hall.
The tanks were lost because the ships dumped them prematurely too far off the beach and thats why they sank. A mixture of fear and incompetence. Wish they would tell the truth for once!
@SPLOD41 the brit's and canadians who used DDtank also had leasons in basic sailing/seamanship from the royal navy. anyway if anybody wants to learn the truth, google "Hobart's funnies".
@whylie74 Interesting side story: Major-General Percy Hobart, the designer, couldn't get any support for his unconventional tanks. (Senior command considered him a "nutter.") So he had his men raid junkyards and find serviceable wrecks. The hulks they salvaged were rebuilt and converted into the Funnies. Thanks to this brilliant tanker, thousands of Canadian and British troops were saved as they hit the beaches of Normandy.
@Qpollo Poor writing. D-Day was the largest "amphibious" operation in history. Baggration, with more than 2 million troops, was the largest military operation. Interestingly, without the atomic bombings, the largest would have been Operation Olympic, the invasion of mainland Japan.
at 5:45 they probably could ahve added some sort of toe and camber to help
