Small armored vehicle of the French Foreign legion in Indochina. These small vehicles called “Crabes” (Crabs) were used to patrol the rivers and muddy areas of the Tonkin gulf. If they were effective to keep the watch during the day, the Viet Minh took over again as soon as they got back to their bases. Their noises and low speed made them easy to spot by the enemy.
