Evolution of The Churchill Tank | "No Damn Good"?

Designed by a company that had never built a tank before with the Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, looking over their shoulders and plagued by mechanical teething troubles, the Churchill tank had unpromising beginnings. Despite this, it became one of the most successful British tanks of WW II: heavily armoured, not fast but with superb climbing ability, the Churchill served not only as a gun tank but the basis many of the specialised vehicles that helped the British and Canadian Armies ashore on D -Day, as well as a unique model with a 3 inch cannon, the gun carrier. *Support The Tank Museum & Get great perks:* ► Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/tankmuseum ► YouTube Membership: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChl-XKVVBAzoEVsnbOfpcqw/join 00:00 | Intro 01:20 | History - What was needed? 03:38 | Design, Weaponry and Armour 08:44 | Up-gunned and Upgraded 13:59 | A Look Inside 17:51 | Combat Performance 20:23 | Multi-use Platform 23:10 | Conclusion This video features archive footage courtesy of British Pathé. #tankmuseum
