CHURCHILL CROCODILE FLAMETHROWER TANK

BRITISH WWII TANK

The Churchill Crocodile was a British flame-throwing tank of World War II, eight hundred were built. It was introduced as one of the specialised armoured vehicles developed by Major-General Percy Hobart (one of "Hobart's Funnies") and produced from October 1943, in time for the Normandy invasion. The Crocodile kept its 75 mm gun in the turret, but the hull mounted machine gun was replaced by a Fame-thrower.
400 Gallons of fuel and nitrogen propellant, enough for 80 one-second bursts, were stored in a 6½ ton detachable armoured trailer towed by the Crocodile. The thrower had a range of up to 120-150 yards. The pressure required had to be primed on the trailer by the crew as close to use as feasible, because pressure could not be maintained for very long.
Used by the 79th Armoured Division in concert with the Churchill AVRE, the Crocodile was a highly effective assault weapon whose threat could induce enemy troops to retreat or surrender. The Crocodile was a specialised weapon, best used against suitable targets. Aspects of the mechanism were considered by the British to be so secret that disabled units, if they could not be recovered, were rapidly destroyed by any means, on occasion even by air strike.
British crewed Crocodiles helped the U.S. Army break out of the Normandy bocage and, later, during Operation Clipper, the Anglo-American assault on Geilenkirchen.
