Falaise 1944

A shattered Sherman tank of the Sherbrooke Fusiliers.  It was hit by alternating armour-piercing (AP) and high-explosive (HE) shells.  The turret of the tank was blown straight up and off the body.  Its Canadian crew never knew what hit them.

A Shattered Sherman of the Sherbrooke Fusiliers

A tragic scene. A Canadian Universal Carrier Mk. I at Dieppe after the raid in August 1942. A dead Canadian soldier lies beside it with his trousers blown off in the fury of the battle. A few hours earlier, this beach was filled with flying hot steel and explosions.
