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. This is the story of Cromwell. (Note: This episode was recorded on 18 Feb 2024, we got confused about the year at the start)

55 - Cromwell - The Cat Food.

It's a podcast about tanks. Do you want to listen to people talking about tanks? If so this is the podcast for you! World Wars, Cold Wars, modern tanks, we cover them all while drinking a lot of beer.

Be warned though, we grapple with the politics behind the tanks, the economics, the industrial policies. Tanks are intensely political objects in both their creation and their use. 

So if you just want to hear dudes banging on about lethality, well, we've got dudes banging on anyway.
