Totally Tanked podcast

Argentina wanted a tank, some Germans wanted some money moved out of Switzerland, the TAM was born.
A Marder hull, a 105mm gun, a lightish modular family of vehices it all looked good. And yet it failed to get to the fight the one time it mattered.

Recorded to celebrate America's 250th birthday with beer and it's greatest tank we explore the M4 Sherman in all it's glory as an exemplar of everything that made America great.

Britain is trying to build a new tank.
But they're doing it with a gun that entered service in the 1970s and re-tread hulls that ended production a quarter century ago.
And they're building fewer than 150, which for a completely orphan fleet is a "courageous" approach.

With over 8,000 produced the T-70 should not be an obscure tank. With an extremely unusual profile it should be easy to ID. And yet it's not exactly at the top of anyone's list, but we are going to try and shed some light on this Soviet light tank.

What time period exactly was this great tank the greatest tank ever?
