  • Summary

  • WW2 - The war in Burma. The forgotten 14th Army struggling against Japanese "super soldiers" deep in the jungle.

    But did you know there was another, completely overlooked aspect to the campaign -Tanks.

    Yep, the British and allied troops did deploy them and they proved to be incredibly effective.

    Today we are exploring the forgotten role that tanks played in the jungle and on the Indian and Burmese plains.

    These are stories that will shock you - a sword fight inside a British tank, the logistics of deploying armour in the mountains above the clouds, and the incredible tale of the 'Thunder Run to Meiktila,' - a battle that set the tone for the use of armour and all-arms tactics through to the present day.
