Queen of the Desert
The Matilda was developed as a heavily armored infantry tank and was the
British Army's main tank in North Africa during WWII.
She swept aside Italian opponents and was respectfully called the “Queen
of the Desert” by German forces.
During Operation Battleaxe to lift the siege of Tobruk in June 1941,
German forces famously used their 88mm AA guns in the anti-tank role as
they were the only effective counter against Matildas which could be
found.
The Matilda has written her name into the history books as a highly
effective tank
which continually proved her worth during many fierce battles throughout
North Africa. |
