Churchill already has an internet-meme ready tank design- "Cultivator No.6"
>It was designed to advance upon an enemy position largely below ground level in a trench that it was itself excavating. On reaching the enemy's front line, it would serve as a ramp for the troops and possibly tanks following in its trench.
>Cultivator No. 6 was an enormous machine and was planned to be built in substantial numbers. The overall weight was 130 tons and the length was 77 feet 6 inches (23.62 m).[4] The machine's development and production was enthusiastically backed by Winston Churchill and work on it continued well past the point when there was no obvious use for it.[5] In the end, only a small number of machines were constructed and none were used in combat. In his memoirs, Churchill said about it: "I am responsible but impenitent".[6]
These things could have still been used for civilian purposes post-war. What's not to like about a mega-excavator that can dig out a whole basement in 30 minutes?
What I laugh at Italy is that just like the Bongs had the "best tank of WWII for a week" (the incredibly innovative Centurion, a generation ahead of other WWII tanks, that entered the war in the very last week just in time for some prototypes to be deployed but not to see combat") - and then proceeded to mass-produce it and dominate the battlefields for years... the Pastas had the exact equivalent for WWI in the Fiat 2000 (the same but in Italian and WWI - don't make me type it again) - and then, they didn't build any more of them, and their next AFV was *LITERALLY* the bottom right one of
Which kind of amusement park for children has TWO tanks?

Reminds me of sven hassels writing where he tells about people getting broiled with oil and other shit to the point that bones could be pulled from meat and somehow suffering even tens of hours before dying because medics weren't allowed to kill them.
Avoiding to post weeb or meta stuff, but this one deserves an exception because the tale of that tank happens to be awesome. user managed to track its story. Will post if I locate it.
Madrid's Parque de Atracciones. TL:DR of thing: >PdA makes Walking Dead ride, decide to put tank as in the series >they rent an old T-26 that actually took part in the Battle of Madrid back in '36-'39 >asspained Walking Deadfags complain glorious Motherland steel not enough good for them, demand same inferior American tank as in their series >PdA complies, 50 tons of M60 FREEDOM joins the ride >two spainfags document the whole thing >sadly, they said the T-26 rent ended and they nowadays have just the M60
