    after some internetting, very interesting but it never saw service. ‘flail’ style mine sweepers ended up being the better design.

    thanks for the random internet today

      The weight of the various roller designs was pretty crazy. Sometimes 20 or 30 tons, which basically doubled the weight. That poor Sherman engine.

    You’d need some serious balls to drive the mine exploder tanks…you’d come out twitching like a chihuahua
