Divers find D Day Tanks

Divers found the massive vehicles were relatively well preserved with guns still intact even after more than 64 years under sea.

And by painstakingly checking minute details on the sunken vehicles against historical records, investigators managed to identify them as rare British Centaur CS IV tanks.

The historic weapons were destined for battle during the D-Day landings but never arrived.


Historians discovered the tanks fell overboard when a landing craft capsized on its way to the Normandy beaches on June 6, 1944.
