I just heard someone on a podcast say that the Tetrarch was designed to be an #airborne #tank, and that Britain wasn't conducting many airborne operations in 1941, which is why they sent some to the #USSR.

Sigh. I guess it's time to share this again.

The World at War

British Comet tanks move through the streets of a devastated town - Germany, March 1945.
The Comet tanks were made in a Lancashire town called Leyland by Leyland motors. The number of employees went from under 500 in 1939 to over 3000 by 1944. Founded in 1896 and despite many ups and downs the company still manufactures today with around 1000 employees #ww2 #comet #tank #comettank #germany #britisharmy #leylandmotors #leyland #lancashire
