Seabeeparke Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Does anyone have any information pertaining to Weasels used by the Navy and Marines during the war? I know that they did have some, but beyond that there is very limited info out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Browning Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Weasels were scarce in both. Even more scarce were markings and record keeping. They were on Iwo Jima, and the sixth Marine Division had at least one on Okinawa. Looks like the Seabees tried them out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seabeeparke Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 Thanks. I found some film footage of them on Okinawa. But you're right there real doesn't seem like they were very common with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZM29C Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I have got only the two photos of USN weasels but unfortunately they are postwar. I will post them anyway for reference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seabeeparke Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 Never saw those pics. That swimmer took a pretty good hit to the bow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
