Read before that the U.S. forces opted to NOT use as many armored vehicles during their assaults, unlike their British allies who made good use of demolition,bridgelaying,fascine, and DD Sherman tanks. Question- Was the British Cromwell tanks like the ones used at Dieppe ever fitted with any experimental flotation devices or did they just have the snorkel system used for wading to shore?
