The Cromwell comes from a long line of tanks. It was designed as a Cruiser tank to be used for reconnaissance and other such tasks. With the Christie suspension it was able to attain speeds of 52 km/h and proved quite agile. The Cromwell became a fighting machine when the later versions were given heavier armor. In the latter part of WWII the Cromwell was the most produced British tank but its numbers and actions were always lost in the shadows of the Sherman s and Churchill s. The Cromwell became the basis for what arguably was the best British tank of WWII, the Comet. Formed in February 1942 in Scotland the Polish 1st Armoured Division was under the command of General Stanislaw Maczek. On August 1st 1944 the last segment of the Polish 1st landed in Normandy. Despite being mistakenly bombed by a US air raid and put under heavy artillery fire by the Allies the Polish forces achieved several major victories. The Polish Armoured help close the Falaise Gap and for 2 days and short of ammunition they stood their ground against several fleeing panzer divisions.
