TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Amongst all these special vehicles prepared for the landing in Normandy theSherman BARV stands apart by its unique silhouette and doesn't have anythingto compare with any other fighting vehicle.
Following the experience of the landings in North-Africa and in Italy it wasdecided to complete a specially designed vehicle to evolve on the beaches toput back the landing crafts afloat and tow the damaged or stranded vehiclesclose to the shore.
This fully watertight Sherman version, with its heightened structure, its ventsand its protected air intakes, could operate in at least 2m50 of water.
About 52 BARV are ready just in time to see action for the landing of Normandywhere they see action with the 'Beach Groups'. The BARV also participatedin the crossing of the Rhine and remained in service until in the fifties.
