New Book Story Of Tanks DVD Magazine Book Description: DVD: STORY OF TANKS The first tanks were produced from late 1914 by Great Britain and France to break the deadlock of trench warfare on the Western Front. Their first use was during the Battle of the Somme in 1916. Britain and France built thousands of tanks, while Germany only developed and bought into service 20 vehicles of a single design. We look at the development of tanks throughout history including the German tank divison, Russian tanks and U.S. tank development. We also look at tanks in the Cold War. While they would not only continue to be produced in huge numbers the technology advanced dramatically making them larger with thicker armour and generally much more effective. This DVD is not to be missed by those with an interest in military history and weapon development. MAGAZINE: STORY OF TANKS The tank was born to break the deadlock of World War I's Western Front, where trench-based defence in depth - barbed wire, machine guns and artillery -had led to immense loss of life. Tanks dominated the battlefields of World War II and have continued to develop, reaching their apogee in the MBTs of the biggest military-industrial complexes - the US Abrams, German Leopard, British Challenger, Israeli Merkava and Russian T90. Today, in a world of asymmetric warfare, tanks may dominate the battlefield, but infantry rocket weapons and anti-tank helicopters have evened things up and ensure that tanks must develop further to meet changing threats. Learn about the changing face of tank warfare through iconic vehicles from 1914 to today. Run time : 1 hour and 30 minutes Cover: Paperback + DVD All our books are new and sealed in plastic bags.
