The DD [duplex drive] tanks, supposed to "swim" in ahead of the infantry to diminish German resistance, had been forced by high waves to land after them--within a few hundred yards of the muzzles of the beach defence guns", one tank commander recalled afterward. 1, record 2, English, - beach%20defence
