Photo taken by Paul Pettitt shows war tanks sunk during Operation Smash - a huge training exercise held on a Dorset beach in April 1944, just weeks ahead of the Normandy landings in 1944. Six lives were lost during the drill. Paul Pettitt, who photographed the wrecks with his wife Alison, said those pictures were done over the course of a whole summer. (Photo/IC)
