Is it one of these? The one with the holes is from the PzIII, and I have no idea what the holes are for and the manual shows nothing. The grey one is from the StugIII (Stug life).

Re: HL Panzer. III
Yes they did. They used deep asking tanks and swimming tanks. These were Shermans, with an inflatable canvas screen around them.

Re: HL Panzer. III
Also plans to use Valentines that were DD, more for crew training, but a disastrous training incident ended it all for the Valentine. Sherman was definitely better suited to be a swimmer.

Re: HL Panzer. III
Thx to the noncommissioned officers.
Must admit, I've never heard of a Valentine.
Can you post a picture?
