    What were the two I beams at the front for? Were they part of the tank bulldozer kit?

    Lots of variations on the theme, since most were locally produced in the field:

    I understand that most of the steel material for the 'hedge busters' was obtained from Germanicon beach obstacles...

    Thanks for that.

    The tank in picture 2 on post No. 5 looks like it is a photo of 'AFTER' as in after an explosion of some sort since the sand bags are burst and there appears to be charring on the log and front middle of the hull bottom.
