The Tank Channel

The Tank Channel is the only website in the world where you can watch professionally filmed videos of tanks and other armoured fighting vehicles from 1916 to the present day - entirely free.

The scope is enormous: from prototypes that never made it into service to tanks that changed the course of warfare. Backed with technical details, production histories and first-hand accounts from the veteran tank crews who fought in them.

There are reviews of the world's best Tank Museums and Collections, plus an Events Diary to keep you up to date with AFV shows and exhibitions.

The Tank Channel also has a section devoted to restorers, a unique breed who keep history alive by restoring tanks and all kinds of AFVs to running order.

There's also our Tank Talk forum where you can express your views on all things armoured.

Every month The Tank Channel will be adding new features, new videos and photographs, so there is always something new to discover.

For anyone fascinated by AFVs, this is the site to bookmark.

20-SECOND PREVIEW: STUG III

The SdKfz Foundation's Stug III was originally rescued from the bottom of the Black Sea - and not surprisingly in a very sorry state. It took the Weald Foundation five years of meticulous research and painstaking engineering to restore it to its original state.
