The Grant was a US-made tank that fought in WW II, but not with the Americans. Instead, it served with the British and Indian Armies, who faced the enemy in the deserts and jungles of Africa and Asia. The Grant was a beast of a machine, with six crew members crammed inside its bulky body. It had a powerful 75mm gun, but also a fatal flaw: a tall silhouette that made it an easy target.

You’ll see how the crew lived and worked in this cramped and chaotic metal monster. And you’ll hear a surprising story about a cheese sandwich that saved a soldier’s life..
