Remote controlled expolosive Carriers.

Bob, Just think how much stuff got left behind after Dieppe. That was just a raid with really only 1 armoured regiment taking vehicles ashore for 9hrs with plans to bring it all back. Now factor in a number of divisions being sent to Europe for the long haul and having to flee. Thats a tremendous amount of stuff being left behind. The Germans at this point had already incorporated many Czech vehicles into their units for combat in France. This was also why when the 1st Cnd Div arrived in England they were they most fully equipped body of troops available.

I remember seeing a book advertised years ago and it was all about German units in Russia that had been outfitted completly with British vehicles. If it was British they had it.

As was said in an earlier post, Chevy and Ford were making lots of things for the Germans too. Ever notice how similar an Opel Blitz drivetrain is to a Chevy CMP.
