Meer over het boek

The Matilda Mk II tank, utilized by the British Army in World War II, is renowned for its heavy armor, which provided exceptional resistance against early enemy attacks. Its design made it nearly impervious to the anti-tank weapons of the time, earning it the nickname "the Queen of the Desert." However, its limitations in speed and firepower, armed with a 2-pound main gun and a coaxial machine gun, set it apart from enemy tanks. The tank's unique blend of durability and armament played a significant role in its battlefield effectiveness.
