M4 Sherman Dozer Task from Force X of the 3rd Armored Division and 39th Infantry Brigade Crossing Siegfried Line at Roetgen
Think they called them Dragons Teeth obstacles, does the Sherman pictured have a blade on the front or is it a flail tank. Just asking.
Attachment 74985It is the dozer, note the pointy thing up front of the hull...
I often wondered how long it took the Germans to remove those dragon's teeth from the countryside after?
It seems they are taking their time at it...

Jim, pointy thing is a shield to protect hydraulic ram that raises and lowers the dozer blade.
Best Regards.....Frank
Yes, it was the differentiation I was indicating between the flail and the dozer. The flail doesn't have it.Quote:
