Sgt Curtis G. Culin of US 2nd Armoured Division is primarily responsible for an innovative device to deal with the dense Normandy hedgerows – the infamous bocage.
Becoming known as the Culin Pring or the Culin Rhino, this hedgerow cutter was little more than German steel roadblocks and beach tank traps welded together to form a cutting fork attach to the front of tanks. This allowed them to slice through the Normandy hedgerows and avoid being bottlenecked in the narrow French roads by the high-sided and terribly thick bocage.
An ingenious attachment that allowed Allied tanks to cut through the bocage hedgerows in France, the Cullin Prong was widely used on Shermans and Cromwells.
