Product Description
- On September 30th, 2021, under clear skies, a reorganization ceremony was held for the German Army's 130th Amphibious Engineer Battalion, the British Army's 23rd Amphibious Engineer Company, and the 3rd, 4th and 5th Companies of the German Army's 901st Amphibious Engineer Battalion, and the new German-British (DEU-GBR) 130th Amphibious Engineer Battalion was born.
- The main weapon system of the DEU-GBR battalion is the improved ribbon bridge Pfalzschwimmbrücke II (FSB.2), which can be mounted on pontoon bridges or ferries to enable the crossing of heavily armored wheeled/tracked armored personnel carriers and light tactical vehicles over water obstacles.
- Also in service is the amphibious M3 Schwimmschnellbrücke (SSB), which was developed as a further improvement over the M2 Alligator Bridge and Ferry Vehicles.
- Being an amphibious vehicle is what really characterizes this unit.
- This book provides a detailed account of the history of this unique German-British force and includes numerous photographs of all the vehicles they were fitted out with, including impressive river crossing exercises.
