520 _aA documented account of armoured warfare worldwide and look towards the future. This analysis shows what a crucial role armour continues to play today. Though the tank was a British invention, it was the Germans in 1940 which first demonstrated the power of all-arms armoured divisions to determine the course of the campaign.The Soviets also used massed armour as part of their increasingly sophisticated 'operational war'.
