On the drama documentary about de Gaule here on French TV this week, there
was some wonderful orignal footage of Legion paras in a GMC 6x6 in Algeria
(surrounded by screaming arabs) ramming some iron gates till they gave way
in a bid to break the blockade of the Casbah in Algiers. (See my postings
passim about similar footage in the Battle of Algiers DVD)

As Dodge WC owners will know, on Dodges , especially 6x6, the French used
oversize tyres with sand treads in their North African units.
