Its heyday was during the Battle of the Scheldt/ Walcheren Operation when 40 Terrapins were used to transport Canadian troops and supplies. It wasn’t used during the Normandy landings. The British used fleets of DUKWs instead.

Yeah, I did that and removed it from India when I fixed the Brit one

It was the 30 man carry capacity that I've flagged for attention not the vehicle itself. I'm aware of it's use by the Brits in NW Europe
