RAM Armour Car Tanks Helped Allied Invasion Efforts
Seven years ago on March 4 1942 Canadian cruiser tanks RAM arrived in England. The RAM was developed in Canada early in 1941 by Canadian and British engineers with Canadian and American manufacturers. Its main armament was a 6 pounder gun in the turret. Although soon obsolescent rapid developments in tank design, the RAM trained Canadian troops and influenced American and British tank design. Its notable role came as an armoured carrier for infantry in battles before the fall of Falaise. Stripped of turrets and guns and nicknamed Kangaroos these Rams cleared paths through enemy gun screens at night and delivered infantry behind German lines.
