Hobart’s Top 9 Special Tanks of World War II

Another of Hobart’s Funnies that proved most useful was the SBG or the Small Box Girder bridge layer. This AVRE was designed to bridge a gap of up to 30 feet wide. In addition, it would provide a ramp to scale a 15-feet-high wall, often used together with fascine to provide a softer landing surface when a vehicle fell from an elevated position or a surmounted wall.
