OVERLORD: Tank Wading Preparations

#1

Does anyone know what wading depth the main Allied tanks (Sherman, Cromwell, Churchill) were prepared for? i.e. was it 3 ft., 4 ft. or 6 ft.?
"The demonstration, as a demonstration, was a failure. The sunshield would not fit the tank. Altogether it was rather typically Middle Easty."
