Synopsis

This program traces the compelling history of the tank, from its earliest, rudimentary forms on the battlefields of World War I to the sophisticated technology that defines modern armored warfare. Special attention is given to the tank’s defining era – the Second World War. Following this, we'll explore another vital piece of equipment for the American soldier in WWII: the Jeep. A truly versatile vehicle, a "Blitz Buggy" could function as a fighting car, a snowplow, or even an ambulance.
