Fort Knox, Kentucky. Light tanks. The Axis is not going to like the American fighting men it will soon be meeting on the battlefronts of the world. A good example of a man becoming unpopular in Japanese circles is this hardened "tanker," in training with light equipment at Fort Knox, Kentucky

Tanks in mass culture. Tanks were first developed separately and simultaneously by Great Britain and France as a means to break the deadlock of trench warfare on the Western Front. Their first use in combat was by the British Army in September 1916 during the Battle of the Somme. The name "tank" was adopted by the British during the early stages of their development, as a security measure to conceal their purpose.
