Why the Internet is WRONG About the Cromwell Tank

From the creator

The Cromwell - a tank that has been picked on by the internet for far too long. It lacks firepower. It's thin-skinned. Some even say it was obsolete before went into combat. But that isn't at all true. Because the Cromwell didn’t just fight its way through Normandy, it was pivotal in the defeat of Nazi Germany. After that, it held off Soviet expansion in Europe, held ground in Korea, and stayed in British service well into the 1950s. So how did a tank everyone calls a failure end up doing all that? In this video, we're going to wade through the hate mail and see if we can convince you that actually the Cromwell did rather well. If you're seeing this, why not leave a comment telling us what you think of the Cromwell – is all the hate mail well deserved? Or, if you loved the video, give us a like!
