Holt Gas Electric Tank
Protecting your troops while protecting the environment, Dan Quale would have orgasms over this low carbon emmission beast. If you think it looks like a tractor wearing an iron overcoat this is because it is, as the Holt Swindon company that developed it were the US’s leader tractor firm. The US military after much deliberation decided they would prefer not to drive this tank in wwi. However it’s not an entirely sad tale as they continued to buy Holt Swindon tractors.
Holt One Man Tank
What do you buy the child who has everything?
It’s a little known secret that the US trained a crack squad of midgets to send to Germany in WWI. Though only armed with a peeshooter, at least it was easy to find a parking space.
Chenillette Saint Chamond
This between wars French tank tried to have to have its cake and eat it, wanting to be able to go over rought terrain using tracks and speed along roads on wheels. Any bets on whether it worked? Apparently not as after tenth prototype was made the project was abandoned. Supposedly it took 10 minutes to for the crew to swap from wheels/tracks.
Pretty Ugly Tank
Military vehicles are often not the prettiest around but the Kiwi’s seem to have just gone that extra mile to make possibly the ugliest thing ever to drive down a road in history.
The New Zealand Bob Semple tank was so ugly that it’s rumoured more crews died from embarrassment than enemy gunfire.
