I was watching the history channel last night and it seems that the Allies

test the Normandy beaches for the ability to hold up the weight of the tanks

The thing that really amazes me is the floating tanks that they somehow got
to work. Sadly many didn't make it to the beach. Brave guys that we all owe so
much to. Bob in connecticut
