WW2 Tanks By Jacob Wolfson

Tanks were an important weapons system in World War II. Although tanks were the subject of widespread research during war years, production was limited to relatively small numbers in a few countries. However, during World War II most armies employed tanks, and production levels reached thousands each month. Tank usage, doctrine and production varied widely among the combatant nations. By war's end, a consensus was emerging regarding tank doctrine and design.

British Cruiser Tank Mark 1 This tank was one of the first tanks ever made by the British army. It was built to travel at high speeds and bypass the enemy's main line of defence and engage their lines of communication, however it was quickly replaced by the stronger and faster mark 2 version.

Churchill's Crocodile Tank A crocodile tank (also known as a flame tank) is a flame throwing tank and was used by the British mainly to threaten the enemy since no one wanted to be burned alive. Also the are better than portable flame throwers since their firing range is much greater.

Churchill Infantry Tank This tank was used by the British army and was famous for its tough, heavy armour. The origins of the design lay in the expectation that war in Europe might be fought under similar conditions to those of the First World War and emphasized the ability to cross difficult ground. The Churchill was rushed into production to build up British defences against a possible German invasion.

Some modern tanks which are very different from those of the ones in WW2
