The 34 Tank Brigade was formed in 1941 and trained in the South East of England, first as an independent brigade, then as part of 1 Division and the 43rd Wessex Division until nine months before D-Day, June 6th 1944, when it became an independent tank brigade once more. Designed as a heavy infantry tank to replace the Matilda II, the Churchill prototype was completed in June 1940 and the type entered production in June 1941. The design was largely influenced by the British Army's experiences with trench warfare during WWI. As a result, the Churchill was a large, heavy (38 tons), and relatively slow machine, built to traverse heavily cratered landscapes to take on lightly armored infantry. The small turret significantly restricted the size of armament that could be fitted to the Churchill but it's heavy armor made it much more resilient than contemporary allied tanks. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
