What landing craft were used at D-Day? Just amphibious tractors and DUKWs, or did LVTs participate and support?
Asked a similar question a few months ago and got no response to that one. Anyways, on Peleliu, the American troops (namely the 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division) landed using copious amounts of naval gunfire support, and close order support from LVT(T)s and LVT(A)s (Landing Vehicle Tracked (Tank/Armored)). Observers to direct the naval gunfire…
