Sherman DD Tank: The Amphibious Beast of D-Day

This American Sherman DD tank didn’t just roll into war — it swam.
Equipped with a collapsible canvas skirt and twin propellers, this “Duplex Drive” tank was designed to cross water like a boat… and then crush enemies like a tank on land.

🌊 On D-Day, many sank in the rough waters… but the ones that made it helped secure Allied victory on the beaches of Normandy.
A true engineering gamble — that partially worked — and changed the fate of WWII.
