On today's episode we are going to be discussing some more prototype tanks as we finish off with the 1920s and move into the 1930s with the M1928, M1931, T3, T3E1, T3E2, T3E3 medium tanks, along with the T1 Combat Car-- we'll be deep diving into what will become rather familiar territory for thank enthusiasts, the now famous "Christie Suspension" at least as much as it pertains to the American Medium Tank program.

So sit tight, relax and let the smooth sounds of tank information wash over you as we get closer to our final destination of the M4 Sherman Medium Tank.

Enjoy! John Burgess
