Thacker) Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories Lines: 22 Approved: military@att.att.com From: Marc Alexandrovich Volovic During WWII the Soviet Army used to hitch troop sleds to their tanks, for speed in infantry advance. The losses were probably extreme (the sleds were open and quite unprotected). [mod.note: The Red Army also used armored sleds in Finland, and this was copied by the Germans later on; but it was never common practice in either army. - Bill ] +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Marc A.
