How Did The World's First Tanks Turn The Tide Of WWI? | Guy Martin's WW1 Tank | War Stories

On 15 September 1916 at Flers-Courcelette during the Battle of the Somme, Britain unveiled their secret weapon. A fleet of giant metal monsters swept over the battlefield and the world was introduced to the tank. In this documentary, Guy Martin looks at how this invention changed the course of the First World War.
Guy Martin also attempts to build a working replica of a World War One tank, pass his tank driving test and drive the machine at Lincoln's Remembrance Day parade.

    My grandfather was, according to family accounts, the first doctor attached to the Tank Corp. He was at a dressing post behind the Cambrai battlefield.

    Could you imagine setting in your trench. All the sudden everything starts shaking. You hear a shrieking and screaming noise. All the sudden out of the dark a couple houses sized beast. One is shooting cannons and the other is shooting everything with machine gun fire. No matter what you throw at them. They just keep coming and coming.

    I can’t get past his sideburns… Also I think to a point this documentary kind of oversells the contribution that the Tank made in world war one. Now don’t get me wrong when tanks were first introduced into the conflict. They were a game changer. The Germans had literally no idea on how to tackle these giant metal monsters that would crawl their way relentlessly toward them. but at the same time I feel that the way this documentary brings it up makes it seem like the tanks were almost like wonder weapons. And well again their initial impact cannot be overstated during the battle of the Somme. The rest of it is yeah.

    No matter what anyone says, these tanks surely chased the enemy away - trench warfare certainly had to give way to temporary foxholes after the advent of the tank.

    Did I miss the part where they went over you know, the title? All I saw was some hobbyist making a homemade tank. If your content is so bad you need click bait titles to get any views then why bother.
