The Experimental PIAT Carrier

In late 1944, the Royal Canadian Engineers were tasked with improvising a harassing weapon. The result was the Experimental PIAT Carrier. The Canadian Sappers mounted more than a dozen PIATs (Projector, Infantry, Anti-Tank) onto the back of a Universal Carrier! In this video Matt digs into this history of this curious in-field adaptation!
