YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhen the State of Israel was declared in 1948, the nation had many enemies and few tanks. Desperate for armour, Israeli agents searched Europe for old tanks to buy and transport to Israel. An amazing hodge-lodge of British, French & US tanks was the result, but they were immediately thrown into action as the nation was attacked by its neighbours, resulting in rapid armoured developments.
