There is also at least one\u00a0extant building with significant portions of a second standing nearby. Many of these\u00a0remains are relatively slight and are in danger of being destroyed or simply being lost.\u00a0To mitigate against this and as an aid to further the understanding of this site, a survey\u00a0of all the known extant remains was carried out.

The main drive behind the training program was the proposed D-Day\u00a0landings, which comprised a significant part of the Allied invasion of Europe leading to\u00a0the end of World War Two. The amphibious tanks were known as DD Tanks, which\u00a0stood for \u2018Duplex Drive\u2019 and was a reference to the tank\u2019s twin drive system needed to\u00a0incorporate propellers for use when floating. The act of using the tank on water was\u00a0known as \u2018swimming\u2019 and they were often confusingly referred to as \u2018swimming tanks\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3528\" src=\"http:\/\/www.worldwarmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Segers-meer-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"504\" height=\"324\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The site was in use until 1947 after which it was dismantled and the site returned to the\u00a0original owners. Part of what had been an area of accommodation for men based at the\u00a0site, including at least two extant buildings, was leased to the Scouting Organisation for\u00a0use as a Scout Camp. The remainder of the land was restored and replanted as cover\u00a0for game birds or returned to forestry.\u00a0The entire site then lay undisturbed and virtually forgotten until the early part of the 21st\u00a0century when the then Country Park Manger of the Somerleyton Estate, Stuart Burgess,\u00a0recognized that significant components of the camp survived within the woodland on the\u00a0south side of the lake and undertook a program of personal research and investigation\u00a0into the site\u2019s history with the ultimate aim of bringing recognition to the site\u2019s historical<br \/>\nsignificance and to further understanding of the important role it played in World War\u00a0Two.\u00a0Although numerous remains are present scattered across the area, no attempts to\u00a0assess the extent of the site\u2019s survival had been undertaken.

These tanks were part of a series of tanks that had been modified to do something\u00a0more than just fight in the regular way, and were collectively known as \u201cfunnies\u201d.\u00a0The Lake became a significant training facility in 1943 and went on to train in excess of 2000\u00a0men prior to D Day and a further 500 after D Day.
