Cruiser Mark III Cruiser Mark III Based on the American Christie suspension this high speed tank was the mainstay of The British 1st Armoured Division in France in 1940. It has been painted to represent the tank of Sgt. Ron Huggins, 10th Royal Hussars, a volunteer worker at the Museum. Char B2 and Somua Tanks Two heavy French tanks from the 1940 campaign in France. Although French tanks outnumbered the attacking Germans they were defeated by the daring Blitzkrieg tactics. Many of these French tanks were later taken into service with the German Army. Char B2 and Somua Tanks Sturmgeschutz III Sturmgeschutz III Sometimes Museum exhibits leave the building to take part in special events. Here a 75mm assault gun based on the Panzer III is shown, heavily camouflaged, with a party of re-enactors dressed as German troops. Sherman Crab and DUKW One of the most significant tanks of World War II the Sherman also proved highly adaptable. This British version mounted a mine clearing flail and was used on D-Day, 6 June 1944. Another marvellous example of American ingenuity the six-wheel drive amphibious DUKW did a great deal to ease the supply situation on the Normandy beaches. Sherman Crab and DUKW
