Come join us as we explore a machine that killed fascists long before the war began.
The episode also features an interview with Kurt from the Australian Museum of Armour an...

This podcast takes on the legacy of both the tank and the man.

It's got issues...
Britain spent years getting their big tank ready for D-Day, but in the end one greedy industrialist de-railed the best of plans and gave them a sadly crappy tank.
