Britain at War Magazine | Tank Battles of World War Two
Tanks appeared in World War One as an answer to the stalemate of trench warfare. While their use saw some success, technological shortcomings and immature tactics limited what could be accomplished.
Had the war continued into 1919, tanks would have played a large role in the planned Allied offensive. The tank’s promise as a decisive weapon was apparent to a few visionaries who refined and developed tank design over the next two decades.
As a result, tanks became a primary weapon in World War Two, produced in huge numbers and used in every theatre of operations by all the major armies. Tactics and theory matured throughout the war in the harsh crucible of combat.
In this special edition, produced by the team behind Britain at War magazine, we will examine the tank during the war, when it truly came of age as a fully functional weapon system. This is when designers, planners, leaders and tank crews learned to create and use battleworthy tanks to their greatest potential.
