Even though tanks in the inter-war years were the subject of widespread research, production was limited to relatively small numbers in a few countries. However, during World War II, most armies employed tanks, and production levels reached thousands each month. Tank usage, doctrine and production varied widely among the combatant nations. By war's end, a consensus was emerging regarding tank doctrine and design. This important work shows the designs, specifications, and strategic importance of German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, British, French, Russian, Canadian, and American light, medium, and heavy tanks called into action during World War II.
