A British Churchill AVRE as a glorious monument of the landings on June 6, 1944. On D-Day, this specific example failed to overcome an anti-tank ditch located 100 meters south. The crew had no choice but to abandon the tank, suffering heavy losses under enemy fire.

The tank got stuck nearby on D-Day. The crew had to give him up.
