WW2 - The war in Burma. The forgotten 14th army struggling against the Japanese deep in the jungle.
But did you know there was another, completely overlooked aspect to the campaign. . . Tanks.
Today we are exploring the forgotten role that armour played in the jungle and on the Indian and Burmese plains.
In this interview, with historian Jack Bowsher - we’re diving into the cramped, claustrophobic interiors of these machines, learning about the different models that were deployed and exploring how they turned the tide of this brutal campaign.
