I don’t know quite how to explain it. But there is something about the appearance of WW1 tanks that seem so much more menacing and ominous than the model we are used to today

Imagine being the first soldiers to come face to face with a Mark 1... That must of been a different level of terrifying!

Every historian after a new weapon is first used in battle: “This totally changes everything.”<br><br>Such a simple but powerful sentence.

My great great uncle was a tank operative in 1916, I have inherited his WW1 medal.

The historians in this one are so passionate about their work, really makes the video worth watching, despite the constant reused animations.

It's brutal and we shouldn't joke about it, but those original tanks looked just so much cooler and more impressive; like the first bombers with several gun turrets
