An Eyetie designed the first tank....!
It took perfidious Albion to actually make one and use it on other human beings.
I always liked the Peter Ustinov story about when he was interviewed for his war service he asked if he could drive a tank. Because, he said, the idea of going into battle sitting down rather than marching appealed to him.
Theres a tank museum - just up the road from us. My father, who had been a tank driver in WW2, could not face the idea of visiting it.
