      The purpose of a tank was to support the infantry. This was the early 1930's and that was the goal of the designers. The mission changed when real war started in 1939.

    Thank you for the amazing knowledge that you share with us Mark, yet again another fantastic video. The information that you give us makes for a much more complete picture of the events that most of us probably wouldn't even consider looking for. I actually thought I was reasonable informed about the 20th centenary and the second WW. I guess not anywhere near your good self. I'm surprised you haven't got a commission for a series with one of the big broadcasters? Mind you, the 5 minute format probably isn't something that would appeal to them I guess? Their loss I'd say!

    That is so wild , my dad always had only nice things to say about the Germans and told me weird stories of how they helped the Chinese nationalist during the japanese occupations. Crazy story I'm about to tell, so here goes my grandmother was a nurse from Germany and my grandfather was a Chinese banker who was familiar with the telex machine? I don't really know what that is. Long story short I have never met them so I've only seen old pictures. They met fell in love had 5 kids in total ran off to sabah in fear of Japanese atrocities to Chinese. Crazy right the narrative is always a bit different. Anyways my grandfather joined the resistance being familiar with the telex machine, and soon got caught up in the war and got caught by the japanese army, subsequently him and my grandmother along with the eldest son were summarily executed by decapitation. Leaving behind the newly orphaned 4 kids ages ranging from 6-2 who seriously walked to Singapore for protection. And then a whole new saga begins.
    my dad still kicking at 85 keeps 2 momentos in his wallet from back in 42 till the present a picture of his parents and the pin of the Nazi party. Btw his father was only recently awarded a medal and certificate posthumously for his heroic deeds in the war of the pacific. Crazy but true ! Also insane was that her brother came visiting while I was a young child in the 70s. But to say the German s were mot racists in its entirety is not true , as for sure they did have something against the jew. Because my father when I was young would teach me a game with a racist theme song about the jews and I am sure he hadn't a clue that it was inappropriate. I still know it . Dang! I I moved over to the states 20 odd years ago.

The Spaniards managed to up gun it with a 20 mm Hispano Cannon , which gave it an anti tank capability when fighting Soviet manufactured T-26's
