What an interesting idea for a Dio this would make[:D] Does anyone know if this device was ever used?
one was used by the Russians (well there version of it) there was a ammo sled aswell
Seems to me that several well placed grenades would spoil this idea very quickly! Or a well aimed MG34 or MG42!

It looks to me like one of those “new” guy jokes you play on the new troops. Tell em, Ya jump in and we’ll pull you around for a while. LOL I would hate to be the guy with the flame thrower on his back, he must feel safe yah right!
I have a diffrent picture of the “Battle Sled” dated 10 june '44 and and the caption says “One of the more novel concepts attempted in the Anzio break-out” and it also says that it was pioneered by Gen. O’Daniel commander of the 3rd Division.
But it doesn’t say if they ever used it or not.
