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?

Yes, it was the differentiation I was indicating between the flail and the dozer. The flail doesn't have it.

Apparently so. A man could have worked on that as labor(I knew one that did) and grown old looking at them sitting there.
