You won't believe this. Last night I was watching the History Channel about the D-Day invasion and the preparations and machines used in the landing. One Vet they interviewed was from the 1302d Engineers (oow, I hope it wasn't the 1306th). I don't recall exactly what he was speaking on. I think he was describing the Rhinos, which is something I'd never heard of.
They designed this floating barge that could assist with unloading LSTs. These Rhinos could pull up to an LST and the LST would open its door. The trucks and tanks could drive off the ramp onto the Rhino. It was big and could hold maybe a dozen trucks. It was powered by 2 engines and moved very slowly. That was okay since it only traveled from the LST to the beach.
Did anyone see that?
