Tank Tech - Evolution of a War Machine

The Schneider CA1 and the Saint-Chamont were the first tanks to mark a turning point in the conflict of the First World War.

Charles de Gaulle had to fight to give a prominent place to this new weapon in the French Army.

During the 1920's and 1930's German factories were working at full capacity to supply the Wehrmacht with a series of Panzers.

The tank battles of the 2nd World War, at Hannut and Gembloux show the undeniable superiority of French equipment.

January 1942, the United States designed tanks at an industrial level, in order to drown the enemy under a tidal wave of armoured tanks.

Even as the war seeks its winner, the belligerents throw dozens of tanks into the battles to gain the advantage and win the victory.

To respond to the threat, the American Allies adapted by manufacturing new generation armoured vehicles: Hellcat, Wolverine, Patton, Pershing.

Since 1930s the Europeans designed gigantic tanks capable of crushing everything in their path.
