On 11 April 1984, Captain Patrick Hennessy spoke at the Imperial War Museum about his experience commanding a tank squadron during the D-Day landings in 1944. The amphibious nature of the invasion demanded a remarkable level of innovation in the military technology of the day, resulting in the development of the "duplex drive" (or, more informally, "Donald Duck") tank, an amphibious "swimming" tank designed to keep the vehicle afloat in water as it disembarked from landing craft on the shores of Normandy. Captain Hennessy shared his harrowing memories of how some of the canvas screens which enveloped the DD tanks ripped open during the landing, causing them to instantly lose buoyancy and sink to the ocean floor, their whole crews trapped inside.
