I'm just Kidding This is a Russian tank, a T-34 Hey this is the first tank, or actually the first vehicle to be called tank. This is the um, the mark-4. The British made this in 1917, this is the female version. It just had machine guns on the side. The male version had cannons at the side. Anyway, the reason it was first called a tank is because the British tried to hide the fact from the Germans that they had an armored vehicle. To go against the trench warfare that was going on world war I Anyway, they called it a tank to make the Germans think that it was a mobile water tank they were using to supply the troups out front That why we call armored vehicles tanks today Or at least some of them There, now you know. Guten Tag. So back before armoured glass existed they did something pretty interesting To protect against bullets in armoured vehicles Here you can see on an Italian tank they had a slit And that's what the driver would look through Also On the sides there's little holes for guys to stick their weapon out of This is a really, really tiny armoured vehicle I'll go show you that slit on another vehicle over here Okay this is a german vehicle and you can see it had the same- (slit) This is early turn of the century stuff You can see that's where these guys could see, this armoured block was moved This was 1937, I was wrong not the turn of the century Pretty awesome Captured in Korea. My granddaddy helped do this Yea God bless America
