Just came across this in researching the 2 AGRCA War Diaries; "Brigadier Leggat visited the 7th Can Med Regt. He had to travel in a WEASEL as the road is covered in three feet of water for two to three miles". Any chaps got any pics of a WEASEL. Cheers Rob.
I first searched for 'weasel vehicle' then found the M29 bit as I'd forgotten it. Handy little things they were.
Manufactured by Studebaker. Here are a few pictures of the little fella.. M29 Weasel There was a fully amphibious version with flotation tanks fore and aft. M29C Water Weasel and some video British Pathe - LAYING TELEPHONE LINE IN THE SAAR
