These look like typical rope cargo nets and not metal. At least to my eyes.

I’ll second that as the left side seems to be pretty droopy and not very rigid as you would expect metal to be with that thickness.

Hello,
Thank you for your answer.
I had asked the question by mentioning steel net :
Metal net used for the Landing in Normandy ?
I know that the fiber is on this picture, but just to illustrate my question. I am sure there was steel net used during the Landing operations.
I am looking for pictures showing such a model.
Thank you in advance.

Hello ZP, so they had two models ?

Hello Lebus,
Yes. Sure because some veterans spoke me about these nets.
And I saw one (no picture unfortunately).
Regards.

The "net" would have to be woven multi-strand wire rope ( the kind used in cranes to wind around a capstan or windlass )
To avoid fraying it would have to be greased and to my thinking, quite messy to actually use to support cargo without damage to it or the cargo it would hold ....

Metal ring nets where used as anti-submarine defences in harbours, but not for loading and unloading. Not sure if they where used during the D-Day landings.
