Classic Military Vehicle Magazine Amazing War Stories: Vehicles of D-Day Speciale Editie

There’s a piece of the puzzle that sometimes gets missed when we talk about how the Allies clinched victory in World War Two – our vehicles. Without a diverse fleet of machines, our troops wouldn’t have stood a chance against the formidable German defences while they battered their way through the terrain of Normandy in June 1944.

‘Hobart’s Funnies’ - ingenious modified tanks such as the ‘Sherman Crab’ - quickly cleared beach mines. Without them, supply lines would have been much harder to establish. Together with an endless stream of Bedford trucks, Willys Jeeps, and other vehicles they were the unsung heroes that ferried our soldiers to link up with paratroopers behind enemy lines.

They played a significant part on D-Day and beyond and they get their recognition in the pages of Amazing War Stories: Vehicles of D-Day. This 116-page special, compiled by the team behind Classic Military Vehicle magazine, is a salute to the incredible brains behind these awesome machines and to the bravery of the men who manned them.
