An Awesome Overview of Tanks For War And Weapon Buffs
In 1916 the face of modern warfare changed forever as the tank entered the military arsenals at a small engagement on the Somme. The first tanks were cumbersome, unreliable and slow, but the impact on the morale of the German troops was salutary. Whatever it's initial shortcomings, the tank incarnated the mechanization and industrialization of warfare, and helped to break the stalemate of the First World War. Tanks is a gem of war history on a global scale, and makes a perfect addition to the library, cabin, RV or shop.
