Churchill Tank Squadron
The British persisted with the Cruiser / Infantry Tank split for the whole war. The final step in the WWII Infantry tank evolution was the Churchill VII, with 6 inches of frontal armour and a 75mm gun. The Churchill VII was quite unusual as a gun tank, most VIIs were converted to Crocodile flamethrowers.
This is a generic Churchill squadron, from one of the independent tank brigades. The ones in NWE were:
- 6th Guards Tank Brigade
- 31st Army Tank Brigade
- 34th Army Tank Brigade
Of which the Guards were in action from D-Day to VE Day.
