Description: | Select Guide Rating A detailed account of the background and combat experience of the British tank crewman of World War II. Great Britain had introduced the tank to the world during World War I, and maintained its lead in armored warfare with the "Experimental Mechanized Force" during the late 1920s, watched with interest by German advocates of Blitzkrieg. Despite these successes, the Experimental Mechanised Force was disbanded in the 1930s, making Britain relatively unprepared for World War II, both in terms of armored doctrine and equipment. |
