When Britain went to war in 1939, its tank crews were ill-equipped, under-trained and badly led.

This was not due only to the poor design and construction of British tanks, but also to the lack of thought and planning on the part of successive pre-war governments and the War Office. At the end of World War I, Britain's tank forces were more advanced than any others in the world, and ideas were being developed for the provision and use of progressively more effective tank forces. Had progress been maintained, even on a modest scale, it would have been possible for Britain to have had tank forces comparable with those of Germany in 1936.
