A Sherman bulldozer tank negotiating floods during the capture of Kleve, 11 February 1945

Photograph, World War Two, North West Europe (1944-1945), 1945.

Kleve was situated near the Dutch border and the Rhine. It was taken during Operation VERITABLE, 21st Army Group's attempt to fight its way through the difficult terrain of the Reichswald forest. Many M4 Shermans were fitted with a hydraulic dozer blade in order to carry out engineering tasks. They had proved especially useful when breaking through the 'bocage' hedgerows of Normandy.
