A Comet B variant in the markings of Berlin squadron of the Royal Tank Regiment as depicted by yellow and red TAC sign with the white 50, these actually markings were not used in this manner in the Berlin parade at the end of the war and maybe the museum’s presentation idea .
The year is 1945. Having crossed the Rhine into Germany proper the British and American Allies may have been forgiven for expecting greatly reduced German resistance if not outright surrender but that is not to be. German forces in the east desperately fight to delay the vast Red Army offensives while in the west smaller pockets of mixed armour and infantry fight on in the ad hoc battle groups which the Germans now excel in.
