The decision to launch thirty-two U.S. Army DDs some

Production of the Tetrarch was halted early in the war when

it became apparent that light tanks were too vulnerable for
the ever-evolving battlefield. However, the British airborne
forces adopted the tank prior to D-Day because it was light
enough to be carried by glider. The GAL Hamilcar glider
was designed specifically for this purpose.

of command above himself. Thus, if his immediate commander
was put out of action, he was more than immediately capable
of assuming the mantle and carrying on to complete the mission.

Inspired by early British tankette experiments, the L3/35

first saw combat during the Ualual incident in 1934. Its
light armor and weaponry made it suitable primarily for
reconnaissance missions.

The assault on pillboxes can be made in several ways,

but all these depend on the principle that if you are near
enough to a pillbox, you can get inside the angle of fire
of its machine guns and be safe.
