Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Tank memorial at Hermannville-sur-mer, France, Normandie. Text at the memorial-plaque: "At 07.30 hrs on 6th June 1944, 70 specially redesigned Churchill Tanks equipped with fascines, flails, Bangalore torpedoes and brigdes landes from 10 landing craft[s] and cleared the beach obstacles into a 200m wide safe lane in order that the advancing tropps could land safely on the beach. This Churchill Avre Mk III now stands as a memorial to all those who served and dies on these strands." - Little czech flag on the right with "Thank you" on it. - Perhaps the description is not complete right, the tank looks more like type Cromwell or Centaur
Deutsch: Denkmal in Hermannville-sur-mer am Landungsstrand in der Normandie. Text der Plakette auf dem Sockel siehe englische Beschreibung. Tschechische Fahne mit "Thank you" vorne rechts. - Die Beschreibung auf der Plakette ist eventuell nicht ganz richtig, der Panzer sieht eher nach den englischen Typen Cromwell oder Centaur aus.
