Iron, Iron, Everywhere
September 1914. For two months, tens of thousands of European soldiers had been dying every day in the trenches. Hoping to end this carnage, France and England each built up a fleet of tanks. They believed they had discovered the weapon that would win them the war. In vain. Germany destroyed them all. On November 20, 1917, British tanks finally broke through the German front at Cambrai. Thus, a new chapter in the history of warfare was written: the age of the tank. How did Louis Renault manage to design the first true tank in history? What did the first tank drivers really feel when they arrived on the battlefields? Through logbooks and letters from the front, this offers a true immersion into the daily lives of tank engineers and soldiers.
