us Battle Tanks

World War II was the first great technological war. Innovations included long range missiles, submarines, fighters and bombers and of course Tanks! Armoured clashes were on a scale never seen before or since. Tanks were a significant factor in most of the main fighting theatres, from North Africa to Russia and northern France. They featured in some of the critical battles of the war, such as El Alamein in 1942 and Kursk in 1943.

Killer Tanks - Fighting The Iron Fist includes rare archive footage, 3D animations, reconstructions, and analysis by the leading authorities of tank warfare. The various sections of the series describe in detail the best tanks of the Allies. We get to know the good and bad aspects of Churchill, Cromwell, Grant, Sherman, KV and T34 tanks of Britain, America and Russia and how they were used to defeat Germany's best tanks.
