What did the Germans think about the Churchill tank, specifically the Mark I, II and III? This video is based on a German report of the Churchill Mark I, II and III captured at the Dieppe Raid (1942) as well as some other German reports about the Dieppe Raid. Additionally, we look at errors in the report and provide context, like a comparison to other heavy tanks, e.g., the KV1, the Germans faced.
