- The Tank - Infantry - Mk IV (A22) Churchill was a British infantry tank used in the Second World War - best known for its heavy armor - large longitudinal chassis with all-around tracks with multiple bogies - its ability to climb steep slopes - and its use as the basis of many specialist vehicles. It was one of the heaviest Allied tanks of the war.
- The origins of the Churchill's design lay in the expectation that war in Europe might well be fought in conditions similar to those of the First World War - and thus emphasized the ability to cross difficult ground. The Churchill was hurried into production in order to build up British defenses against a possible German invasion. The first vehicles had flaws that had to be overcome before the Churchill was accepted for wide use. After several Marks (versions) had been built - a better-armored specification - the Mark VII - entered service with the British Army. The improved versions performed well in the later stages of the war.
- The Churchill was used by British and other Commonwealth forces during the North African - Italian and North-West Europe campaigns. In addition - 344 Churchills were sent as military aid to the Soviet Union during the Second World War and more than 250 saw active service on the Eastern Front.
