Focusing on its intended role as a fast, heavily armed breakthrough tank, this episode examines why the Independent looked so promising on paper—and why its bold design choices would soon face hard limits in reality.

History of Tanks & Armored Warfare ·

2025/12/19

By the end of the First World War, J.F.C. Fuller had seen the future of warfare—but Britain wasn’t ready to follow him there. Part Two traces Fuller’s post-war career, his growing isolation, and the slow sidelining of one of the army’s most original thinkers. It’s the story of a man whose ideas survived long after his influence did. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/historyoftankspodcast Email: HistoryTanksArmor@gmail.com Support the show

2025/11/11

Today, we pause to honor every man and woman who has ever worn a uniform. From the mud of Flanders to the sands of the desert, from the skies above Europe to the streets of faraway cities — each answered when their country called. This episode is dedicated to them: the veterans who fought, who endured, and who carried home the memories that the rest of us cannot. Their courage built our freedom, and their sacrifice reminds us that peace is never free. Support the show

2025/10/27

In this special episode, we explore the mysterious Japanese O-I superheavy tank—the 120+ ton prototype shrouded in secrecy and speculation. With almost no hard evidence of its existence beyond a few blueprints and scattered reports, the O-I remains one of World War II’s biggest “what ifs.” I’m joined by a guest to discuss its theoretical battlefield role, logistics, and legacy. This is a conversation built on what we know… and what we can only imagine. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/his...

The Mark VIII “International” was unlike any other tank of the First World War. Built through cooperation between Britain, the United States, and France, it was designed to spearhead the massive 1919 offensive.

As Allied tanks grew bolder in the final years of World War I, Germany responded with something new: a weapon built for one purpose—killing tanks. In this episode, we dive into the development and deployment of the Mauser Tankgewehr M1918, the world’s first purpose-built anti-tank rifle. We also explore the rise of armor-piercing ammunition, improvised gun conversions, and the evolving defensive doctrines that sought to counter the growing armored threat.

2025/07/07

Before tanks dominated the battlefield, armored cars paved the way—fast, lightly armored, and often improvised. In this episode, we explore the early days of mechanized warfare through the lens of three key vehicles: Belgium’s Minerva, the iconic Rolls-Royce, and Britain’s rugged Lanchester. These machines weren’t built to cross trenches—they were built to move, strike, and adapt. We’ll look at how they were developed, where they were deployed, and the role they played in shaping the future o...

In the autumn of 1916, tanks arrived on the Western Front—and Germany had none. In this episode, we explore how the German Empire responded to the sudden appearance of Allied armor, why their high command hesitated to build tanks of their own, and how a civilian engineer pushed through the bureaucracy to create Germany’s first and only operational tank of the First World War: the A7V.
