I watched a YouTube video by "Squire" on the War Thunder channel that had this tank. I like aquatic tanks. You might want to check out his video "When tanks don't die". I also enjoyed "Everything wrong with German aircraft" and "A Steaming pile of ship".

Madagascar ... February, 1942
The declaration of war on December 7, 1941 and subsequent moves by Japan challenged Britain and the Commonwealth's maritime lines of communication ... supply chains ... both through Suez and around the Cape ... and Madagascar, occupied by the French under the fascist Marshall Petain's government was suddenly 'in play' -- this point being emphatically made by the Free French leader in Britain, Charles de Gaulle'.
Madagascar and the superb Diego Garcia anchorage ....

had to be denied to the Japanese ....

Gentelmen, I would like to remind that the title of the thread is the Picture of the day.... not Pictures.... I would be grateful if you could follow that.

THX.
