Battle Stations: Duck - The Truck That Went To Sea (War History Documentary)
The World War Two D-Day landings would have failed if American ingenuity hadn't transformed a General Motors two-and-a-half-tonne truck into the DUKW amphibious vehicle : nicknamed Duck : in 1942. Using archive film, interviews and reconstructions, this programme goes on board the craft and reveals the secrets of the machine that, although the slowest and least lovely of vessels put to sea, proved vital on the beaches of Normandy thanks to its ability to go almost anywhere.
