Tank crews break hedgerows with improvised iron fork
Ex sergeant Curtis Gulin Jr helped devise a method to pierce Normandy hedgerows by welding four flanges to a crossbar on tanks. The tactic let tanks punch through obstacles, boosting morale and aiding Patton’s advance in the battle of Normandy. His idea emerged from front line observation and was quickly tested by the 102nd Cavalry Recon Squadron.
