		First, the DDs' guns were useful for taking out bunkers and providing fire support in the gap between the initial defenses bombardment and the bombardment later, since the artillery commanders feared to hit their own men.
		DD tanks largely made it to shore unscathed on every other beach without incident which is further proof of that.
		The reason so many DD tanks were lost on Omaha beach was due to the fact that they were launched too far from shore in seas that were too rough and they were swamped by waves and sunk before they even got in range.

	::Duplex Drive Tank::
		The DD tanks were the brainchild of Percy Hobart - a general brought back from retirement on the orders of Winston Churchill.
		Whereas infantry were vulnerable to machine gun fire - seen so tragically at Omaha Beach - the logic behind the DD was that it could take out a machine gun post and men on the beach could move in safety behind it as it advanced up a beach.
		The DD was actually a Sherman tank fitted with a floatation skirt that allowed it to 'swim' to shore.

		One of the most reliable was a Sherman tank that could float in the water.
		The Sherman Crab was a standard Sherman but had a flail sticking a few metres out to the front of the tank.
		The idea was that the Sherman DD tank (DD stood for Duplex Drive) would, with its screen up, drive into the sea from a landing craft about half a mile offshore (this is just a guess, I do not know the real distance) and, using the propellers, swim towards the shore.

		The 79th Armoured Division was a special formation, equipped with a variety of exotic and clever tank variants dubbed "funnies." With the exception of the Duplex Drive (DD) kit for the Sherman tank, the U.S. Army foolishly declined to join the British in special tank development.
		Two troops of Sherman tanks were also destroyed by as they tried to hit le Hamel from the rear.

	Teacher may have uncovered rare D-Day tank (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The “DD” is an amphibious Sherman tank, a piece of equipment that was intended to get regular Sherman tanks ashore during assault landings while presenting a minimal target, thus offering infantry troops who had al ready stormed ashore some protection against fixed fortifications on a beach.
		Only a few hundred DD Sherman tanks were produced, actually converted by the British from regular Sherman tanks.
		Sansalone first contacted him, and is now director of the Harbor Defense Museum in Fort Hamilton, N.Y., said the significance of the DD Sherman tank is that an amphibious tank would present a much smaller target to enemy guns as it came ashore from a few hundreds yards out.

		The DD’s were Sherman tanks enveloped in a waterproofed canvas screen that enabled them to be launched at sea from landing craft and then slowly ‘swim’ to the beach.
		The DD’s were exceptionally dangerous in anything other than the most placid sea, and many had been lost - often with their crews - in training off the south coast of England.
		A modified Sherman tank, codenamed ‘Crab’, was developed for mine clearance by constructing a spinning drum (‘Flail’) of weighted chains on the front of the vehicle that would slowly churn a secure path across the beach and smash through barbed wire and other light defences.

		The Sherman Jumbo was an M4A3 with applique armor welded to the hull front and sponson sides, and a new single-piece differential and final drive housing.
		In modern military scholarship, the Sherman tank is notorious for being both undergunned and too lightly armored to face its German antagonists.
		The Shermans equaled or outmatched those tanks when they met in North Africa but they were not up to the task of fighting duels with the subsequent Panzers and Tigers, especially when the latter were employed in defense, as mobile pillboxes.
