Hey Rob, I knew you would chime in on this one.
As far as the carrier goes, I have talked at length with more than one vet who hated them. One fellow was especially bitter after his Dieppe experience landed him in a POW camp for the remainder of the war. This happened after a hasty retreat landed them with a carrier hung up on a tree stump. While they were trying to get it dislodged, the Germans caught up with them. On the M715 front, while decent enough in the service, they were underpowered and in the end surplussed due to their less than lackluster performance and poor engine design. Iltis, well, they were what they were.
