DZ Season 024 Part 02 Did Australia Produce the Best Tank of World War II? The Sentinel. Jason Belgrave.
In November 1940 during the dark days of World War II when it looked like Hitler had won the war, Australia, which didn’t even have a car industry, decided to
design and build a tank. It turned out to be one of the best tanks in the world at that time. This incredible, successful, story is told for the first time in detail
in a book written by Cairns’ own, Jason Belgrave at the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum at Smithfield. And I have him here with me for this programme
to tell us about his book and to continue, from my previous programme, this amazing story of the Australian tank called Sentinel. The book is available at
the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum, as well as from their on-line store, and from the publishers, Jabiru Publishing. Tag words: Australian Armour and Artillery Museum
