i believe this actual tank was located in the water and brought ashore as a monument to those Americans who died here before they had chance to engage with Hitlers forces. This was a terrible disaster that, due to wartime news blackouts and security reasons the general public were unaware of until fairly recently. I give 5 stars, not for the picture (excuse me John) but in memory of those that died, not on the stage, but in the theoter of war.
