Several rare vehicles filmed during the Battle of the Scheldt.
You can see vehicles like the Centaur and Crusader AA and the Canadian Ram tank.
Many surviving Crusader IIIs and Centaur tanks were converted as auxiliary mobile AA batteries.
The Crusader would have several anti air variants, one with only a 40 mm QF Bofors and the MKII and III, the III would get two Oerlikon 20 mm guns in the new MKII Anti Aircraft turret.
The Centaur would get the same turret as the Crusader III, called the Mk II turret, these were fitted with two 20 mm Polsten guns.
95 would be produced for the D-Day landings.
The Crusader AA would see more action in Normandy, and a few saw action in Europe, and the Netherlands.
But a as Allied air superiority proved sufficient, they would be less used at the front and more for defensive duties at Airfields and Ammo storage's.
