This documentation is concerned almost exclusively with the British tanks of the 1st World War. And that's good, because there is truly enough material on the tanks in the Second World War and subsequent developments. Interviewed are, inter alia, veterans of the tank corps and one of the leading experts of the tanks present, David Fletcher. It contains recordings of the beginnings, the test runs with "Mother" - the first tank with fully circulating chains - and remarkable images a fitness demonstration later models, which was held for King George V. In addition to the B / W photographs from the time of World War I a few color photographs were inserted from today's time. To view the still functional tanks of tank museum in Bovington, England, in action on the field. Unfortunately, the German Panzerkampfwagen A7V the French Ft-17 is only occasionally mentioned, on the other hand do not. With just under 43 minutes of this band is clearly too short. All in all, we are concerned to a successful documentation of the usual high quality BBC. It is especially interesting for those who deal with the history of tanks in World War I. But modelers are come into their own, because there are, for example, a lot of suggestions for dioramas.
