Killer Tanks - Fighting The Iron Fist - The Cromwell Tank - A British Heavyweight. It was not until 1941 that the British Army General Staff ordered a heavy cruiser tank to replace the vulnerable Crusader. With a design based around the powerful Rolls Royce Meteor, a detuned aircraft engine, the Cromwell went through many design modifications before it finally saw action at Normandy in 1944 - 15 months after it was deemed ready for battle. It was however a fast and agile tank; several thousand had been built by the end of the war in 1945. DVD contains both black & white and colour material.
