Little Willie In 1915 the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill, created a Landships Committee to tackle the problems of trench warfare. After many experiments and false starts an agricultural firm, William Foster & Co. of Lincoln, was contracted to build a prototype machine based on some imported Americ...
Sd Kfz 121 Panzerkampfwagen II Ausf F When they first appeared, in 1936, the Panzer IIs were regarded as platoon commander's tanks.
